Réné Collins is a solo singer/songwriter and the former lead vocalist for the NYC band Blue Ceiling. On this website you'll find lyrics, information on upcoming events and pictures of his performances.

In his songs, Rene effortlessly weaves together the subjects of spiritual progress, love, and nature to create a unique musical and lyrical style. Charismatic, charming and energetic, he woos the audience with his powerful vocals, sensitive lyrics and down-to-earth manner. His polyrhythmic strumming style creates head-bobbing grooves, with memorable hooks that will linger in your head the next morning. His second CD with Blue Ceiling, "Tales from the Spiritual Lost and Found" has been released, and he is currently recording his solo CD "Bringing Down the Sky", which evokes his unique blend of acoustic folk-rock and hip hop and reggae influences.

 Atomictom

AtomicTom wants you to throw your panties. Formed in New York City in January 2006, this unsigned band is making pop-rock songs that will drive you ka-ka. And these four guys are completely serious about producing real, fun music. "At first glance you may think that atomictom is just another pop band with every song overproduced and underdeveloped," says Boston's WXRV 92.5 FM, "but in this case quite the opposite."

From the studio to the stage, everything is spinning around three themes: love, sex, and madness. Why do they call themselves atomictom? Because they like the way it sounds, especially when fans are screaming it and throwing underwear on stage. Check out "Movies Screens" and "Secret Fascination."

This is da place where ol skool meets nu skool and the gritty realities of life in da crooklyn ghettos merge with the psychedelic frontier and melt into a kalidescopic array of multidimensional maddness that you will simply have to see to believe.

Mob House is the true nexus of visual art. One step closer to ascension. It is a love of the art that makes the work enjoyable. The future is just begining for this artist to KREATE.

 Mixed Media - Candice Alexander

With each new piece I create, a “disciplined, dreamlike conversation” is translated from the seemingly infinite universe. My art is an expression of my subconscious, which results in an experience my conscious must document. The exact moment the tool in my hand makes contact with the surface, the magical - the mysterious - the unexpected occurs, and the transformation begins. This freedom in transformation allows me to create spontaneous textural and visual worlds. The infinite is made finite through this process and I feel empowered by the endless possibilities in our universe.
