Colin studied audio engineering at ARTI in Orlando, Engine Studios in Chicago with producer Brian Deck (Iron & Wine, Modest Mouse,) and Gravity Studios in Chicago with producer Doug McBride (Smashing Pumpkins, Veruca Salt.)

Before moving to Nashville, Colin immersed himself for 16 years in Chicago's vibrant music scene, collaborating with songwriters, bands, composers, film directors, and ad agencies. His impressive portfolio includes renowned artists such as Iron & Wine, Califone, and The Steepwater Band, as well as Grammy-winning producer Steve Berlin (Los Lobos.)
