For years, Phil Collins has been a household name, bringing a mixture of emotions to those who hear his amazing voice. From heartbreaking to inspiring, Phil can really mess with all our feelings!

During his time as a singer, Phil Collins has managed to collect eight Grammy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, six Ivor Novello Awards, six Brit Awards, an Academy Award, and a Disney Legend award. His wide variety of awards have set him apart in the music industry.

Phil Collins got his start in the music world at a young age when he got a toy drum kit at 5-years-old, reports Biography.com. Seeing how much he loved to play the drums, his uncle ultimately made him a more “grown-up” version later on.

When he was five, he also entered a talent contest where he was singing Davy Crockett; however, the performance went sour when the tiny boy stopped the orchestra to inform them that they were playing in the incorrect key. Despite the many years that he’s spent in the music industry, Collins is nowhere near retirement. He continues to play and perform in front of huge audiences.
