About me

Born in Kenya, a small town called Mumias. Started singing and acting from a tender age. 2013 I appeared in popular Kenyan TV show, BebaBeba, which was very exciting playing a thug/mugger.
Check me out in a TVC for smart telecom which aired in Central and West Africa - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O77ifnfiass (I play Patrick in the advert). I am looking to grow on this with a particular interest in films, theatre and voice overs.

Reference - "Collins was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He did a great job, and was enthusiastic with everything we asked him to do. He was flexible and willing to try new approaches, and his passion for acting was apparent during his whole time on set. He took direction very well and was keen to impress, and quickly developed a good rapport with the other members of the cast." - Topher Batchelor, writer/producer, Fat Free Media.
Additional skills:

Music production
Additional information:
The last few years have been dominated by my music career. This has meant constant appearance in front of the camera shooting videos and behind the scenes coming up with ideas for the videos.

I take directions well, very experimental with a hunger for more. I am a time conscious person naturally, disciplined and focused on achieving my goals.
