About to release his third album „PressEnter“ as a leader and his debut on ACT, Collin keeps developing a unique sound, making his mark on the New York scene, as well as internationally.Romain Collin, who was originally born in France, came to the US to attend Berklee College of Music (class of 2004) on a scholarship, where he studiedperformance with the likes of Dave Liebman and Joe Lovano while majoring in Music Synthesis. In 2007, Collin graduated from the prestigious Thelonious MonkInstitute of Jazz where he held a Full Scholarship as the pianist of an ensemble handpicked by Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Terence Blanchard. Duringthis time, Collin had the opportunity to tour internationally with Hancock and Shorter, shared the stage with artists such as Marcus Miller, Jimmy Heath, andTerence Blanchard, and studied with the likes of Larry Goldings, Russell Ferrante, Ron Carter, Charlie Haden, Mulgrew Miller and Wynton Marsalis.While furthering his career as a leader, Collin continues to explore various musical genres as a sideman, performing and/or recording alongside artists such asMike Stern, John McLaughlin, Christian McBride and Lauryn Hill.
