About Phil Collins
Phil Collins dominated pop radio in the '80s, bringing a liberating sense of experimentation to unabashedly commercial material.
Born in West London in 1951, Collins developed his adventurous tactics while drumming (and eventually singing lead) for English prog-rock visionaries Genesis, spearheading the band’s unlikely transformation into a mainstream pop act.
But Collins’ solo work proved even more successful: His debut solo single, 1981’s “In the Air Tonight,” contrasted meditative synths with a famously cathartic drum solo that made gated reverb a ubiquitous effect across the decade to come.
