BIO

Description: Son of the late American author Larry Collins and his Egyptian wife Nadia, Lawrence Collins grew up in France, England, India and the United States. This early taste in international cultures was to have a lasting effect on his music. He speaks English, French, German, Spanish, and a dozen “survival” phrases in Arabic and Chinese… He now lives with his family in Bordeaux (that’s in France…).

Back in 2003, when asked by a journalist during a festival to describe his musical style, Lawrence and his partner Mr.Fly came up with the acronym “Trip-Rock" to describe their unique combination of Trip-Hop, World, Acoustic Rock and Jazz. He plays guitar, bass, harmonica… and the computer.

History: After graduating from Colby College in 1989 (phi beta capa & cum laude), Lawrence travelled around the world for a year before attending the Musician’s Institute (GIT) in Los Angeles. He stayed in L.A. for 7 years where he produced 4 albums, wrote music for various films and commercials, and worked in music video production with artists such as Michael Jackson, REM, and Tears for Fears. He performed over 1100 shows on both the East and West coasts of the United States as well as France, Australia, Egypt, India, and Nepal. Songs from his various albums and live performances have been played on various TV and radio stations around the world, including Europe 1 & 2, Canal+ (NPA) in France and 95.5 KLOS in Los Angeles.

Since moving to France in 1997, Lawrence recorded "The Mandala Sessions" (2000) and "EP" (2001) with his french musical twin Marc “Fly” Perimony. They have played over 250 concerts in Paris, the south of France, the French West Indies, and China.

In 2003, he wrote the soundtrack for the independent french film “Comme Si De Rien Etait”, directed by Pierre-Olivier Mornas. The film went on to win over 20 awards in various festivals, including The Public’s choice at the Paris Film Festival and the best movie and the New York French film festival.

In the fall of 2007, Lawrence released his 7th album, “Superman Is Dead”- 11 songs that weave World, Electro, Rock and Jazz into an intimate and emotional musical tapestry framed in carefully crafted lyrics. The album was arranged by Stéphane Dériau-Reine (Simple Minds, Light of the World) and features collaborations with Constance Amiot, Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague), and William Baldé.
