The perfect storm for this fine Australian artist
Born and raised in Australia, Collo’s musical journey started when he was given an acoustic guitar as a Christmas present when he was 8 years old. He was trained in classical guitar but spent most of his time playing contemporary music of the day. Major early influences included AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and David Bowie.
As the 70’s moved into the 80’s he was listening to many of the great Australian bands of the day such as The Angels, Australian Crawl, Cold Chisel, The Sunnyboys INXS and the Divinyls; whilst testing his family’s patience with long and loud repeat plays of everything by Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi and Dire Straits. Back with new single ‘Eye Of The Storm’, Collo’s new single developed quickly.
Sharing how the track was created, Collo states, “The music was put together first over a couple of days. A few months later I woke up with the “Eye Of The Storm” words in my mind and quickly created part of the chorus then and there. The rest of the lyrics were done a couple of days later being completed in a couple of hours – the ideas and concepts really seemed to flow quite quickly once the core theme of the song had been developed.”
