Collins and Streiss are a duo from Toronto, Canada.

As experienced musicians, performers and composers, Mark Collins and Anton Streiss have joined forces to refine their combined skills and vision for their own unique musical collaboration. Anton and Mark share unique personal histories as musicians growing up in Richmond Hill, Ontario. After playing in competing bands as teenagers, they now find themselves working together after decades of individual development as musicians.

Mark and Anton share a passion for composition. Growing up in the 60s and 70s was pivotal in their musical development. As Rock and Roll evolved into the Psychedelic Era, both were galvanized by the love of great music. With so many enduring songs and performers to inspire them, Collins and Streiss are determined to carry the torch of writing and performing unforgettable songs.

With an emerging, versatile repertoire, Collins and Streiss have hit the ground running with their first release—In Your Love—a tender love ballad that will resonate with listeners who appreciate the fusion of folk and soft rock. The contrasting approach of their next release—Does Anyone Hear Me—will surprise listeners with its powerful, haunting and evocative theme and complex arrangement. The action and romantic themes of Black Diamond against the backdrop of a progressive rock groove will inspire listeners to raise their hands and feel the excitement, while the jazz/rock fusion of Saturday Night provides a fun pop foundation for those romantics at heart hoping to make a date.

With more songs in the works, it is obvious that each Collins and Streiss song is a uniquely crafted entity, much like their creative and talented composers.
