Colin Campbell McAdoo is no stranger to the stage. Before the age of sixteen, Colin sang all over the world from Carnegie Hall to The Sydney Opera House with The Philadelphia Boys Choir and Choral. He went on to attend NYU’s TISCH School Of The Arts where he received a B.F.A in Musical Theatre at the school’s CAP 21 studio, studying voice under Doug Labrecque.  Now a New York City-based actor, Colin’s recent Off-Broadway credits include: The Great Unknown at the Theatre Of Saint Clemons with the NYMF and We The People: America Rocks at the Lucille Lortell Theatre as George Washington. Other Credits include: Woody in Disney’s Toy Story the Musical (The Disney Wonder of Disney Cruise lines), Link Larkin in Hairspray (MSMT, Ogunquit Play House), Benny in the Regional premier of Rent (Weathervane Theatre), and featured vocalist in Hart to Hart (Avery Fisher Hall with Robert Goulet and Julie Andrews). Colin has additional credits at The Media Theatre, The Weston Playhouse, and The Mountain Playhouse. He also works as a voice over artist and is an aspiring singer/song-writer. If you ever find yourself in NYC look for him rocking out in the music scene! He would like to thank his friends and family for their love and support, as well as Doug Labrecque, The Mine Talent Agency, and his kid sis, Moll. Love to Bozeman.

Clinton Curtis grew up between the islands of Key West and Jamaica. The son of musicians and reggaehall owners, he was always surrounded by music. As a child, he helped sound-check all the acts that appeared at his parents’ legendary Club Kokua on Negril Beach. He played with and learned from some of the Jamaican giants — including Gregory Issacs and Desmond Dekker.

He was a classical pianist at 8, and formed his first group – a 10-piece R&B band at 13.   Around that time, he started making self-produced studio recordings of original songs, playing all the instruments himself. 

He left Key West for Greenwich Village at age 17 to study acting at NYU.  It was there, in the West Village nightclubs that defined so much of music history, that Clinton realized he wanted to write and perform original music.  He began working his way up in the downtown acoustic clubs- earning a little money as a classical musician on the side. It was during this time that he wrote the songs that would later become his debut album.
