Producer, and singer/songwriter Colin Munroe’s from Toronto where he stumbled upon the local hip hop and R&B community while attending classes in film and philosophy. Before long, he was writing and producing for Canada’s premier urban‐music talent including Glenn Lewis and Divine Brown, when he was bitten by the bug to write and produce songs for himself. Influences to Colin’s love of early Van Morrison, U2 and The Beatles, while owing its production sensibility to Colin’s love of hip hop and soul music.
In late 2007, just as Colin was starting to generate some attention and Grammy winning super‐producer Dallas Austin caught wind of the project and offered his guidance, shepherding Colin into the major labels. Lightning struck a few months later, in late January 2008, when Colin leaked an unofficial remix/response to Kanye West’s Flashing Lights online. Within 10 days the remix and accompanying street‐video had spread across the internet like wildfire, catching the attention of Perez Hilton, MTV, Pitchfork Media, Arjan Writes, Discobelle and Nah Right. Most importantly, it caught the eye of Kanye West himself, who featured the video on his personal blog, included the remix in his Glow in the Dark Tour Mixtape, and is currently using Colin’s vocals in his international Glow in the Dark tour.
Colin signed with Universal Motown Records Group and decamped to Dallas’ Atlanta‐based recording studios to complete production and mix Don’t Think Less of Me. For most, this life less ordinary would be something to write home about… But for Colin Munroe, the self‐described “long‐shot kid with the clothes that didn’t fit”, it’s just another day in the life. Please download his mixtape "The Unsung Hero":
