Collie Buddz, born 1981 as Colin Harper in New Orleans, Louisiana, is a reggae and dancehall artist, best known for his single "Come Around."
Born in New Orleans, raised on the isle of Bermuda with intermittent stays in urban Toronto, Colin Harper is not an easy youth to pin down geographically. His musical alter ego Collie Buddz however, is one of the most firmly grounded voices you may ever encounter. Incorporating influences from hip-hop to soca, Collie’s music nevertheless has a rock-solid foundation in reggae - and its power to connect ghetto reality with the highest heights of human aspiration - that is a rarity even in Jamaica.
Buddz got his big break in 2006 when he was signed with Sony BMG. His first album, simply titled Collie Buddz, was released on July 3, 2007. His first single was "Come Around", released with an accompanying video.
Buddz's single "Come Around" became the #1 Reggae song in Canada, and often appeared on BET and MTV, while "Blind to You" reached #3 on the BBC 1Xtra Dancehall charts in the UK. The single "Mamacita" had been recorded over a year before its release, and had two videos.
Buddz's third single was "Tomorrow's Another Day". Collie Buddz has also been featured on various other albums, such as "Tell Me by Lil' Flip."
