Chelsea Collins

Chelsea Collins — One of the brightest stars on the rise in the pop world is none other than Chelsea Collins. The San Francisco native has been building up quite a buzz for herself online through her YouTube channel and with her catchy singles. In 2020, she’s poised to take over the music world. This superstar-in-the-making began singing when she was super young, starting theater when she was around 4 or 5 years old. In middle and high school, she worked on her songwriting skills and the confidence she’d need to make the big leap to Los Angeles. She taught herself how to produce in the hyper-competitive music market, developing the skills needed to bring her creative vision to life. In 2019, she released her song “Tobacco and Tears,” before following it up with 2020’s “Used to Be L.O.V.E.,” a take on the Nat King Cole song “L-O-V-E.” She followed that with “07 Britney,” a loving, compassionate ode to Britney Spears’ most infamous year. After that, she teamed up with fellow Bay Area star, 24KGOLDN for the heartfelt-and-catchy-as-hell “Water Run Dry.”
