Silky and smooth – Antoine L Collins’ baritone vocals transport the listener to a simpler time and place. A modern-day crooner with a distinctive style, Antoine draws inspiration from the jazz, blues, and soul greats. 

Antoine’s debut album “Somewhere Along The Way” won acclaim in the jazz world, delivering soulful and R&B-inspired takes on traditional standards such as “I Put A Spell On You”, “Orange Colored Sky,” and “Summertime.” 

His second album “Nature Boy: The Music of Nat King Cole” delivered inspired reinventions of Cole’s top-charting hits. “Nature Boy” celebrated an outstanding musician who left an everlasting mark on the world of jazz. Antoine’s “Nature Boy” sought to share again with the world Cole’s intimate insights on life, and generate emotional and spiritual feelings that would resonate as deeply with new listeners, as with veteran jazz and Nat King Cole lovers.

“Dinner with Antoine,” is his latest endeavor and it will be his most personal recording project to date. Featuring all original jazz songs, this five track EP is inspired by the many dinner parties he has hosted, which were known for their fabulous food, cozy cocktails, clever conversation, and marvelous music. Each track reveals something of the atmosphere of these gatherings and offers insights into Antoine’s own continuing personal and musical journey. For instance: “Ella” pays tribute to all the strong women in his life, and “I Know” touches on the joy which comes from opening oneself up to new experiences and being vulnerable.  Dedicated to his fans, this EP ranges from sultry ballads to funky swing tunes aimed to make the listener laugh, cry, dance and hopefully sing along. 

Whether recording in the studio, performing musical theatre or live jazz concerts, Antoine exudes positive energy through his personality, style, warmth and romantic baritone vocals.
