Osmond Collins, Jamaican born dynamite, hit the stage singing professionally
in 1983 and has been going ever since. Having a promising career
ahead singing R&B music and as a writer-composer, Osmond Collins
worked his way into the hearts of thousands in the US and West Indies.
In March 1987 he signed publishing contracts with MCA Records. While
preparing to sign an artist contract Osmond experienced a shift
in his musical direction. This shift caused him to give up the MCA
contracts to pursue a Christian music career/ministry.
Osmond’s stunning stage presence and his ability to present
the Word in song is both mesmerizing and unforgettable. His audience
stretches over three continents: Europe, much of Western and Southern
Africa, the West Indies and the U.S. where he has resided most of
his life. Osmond travels extensively and he continues to be called
back again and again to the different nations.
Osmond has released several albums and CDs. The first is called
“Exalted One” which was recorded in the US and Ghana
West Africa with Krystaline Records produced by Dennis Washington
and Osmond. His second CD is called “Walk the Walk”.
This project, produced by Jet Star Records, under the direction
of Tony Rich, in its short life span, took Europe by storm and to
this day still rides as one of Jet Star Record's top selling Gospel
CD. After only a few weeks it achieved #1 status on the gospel charts
and #1 on the Reggae charts and remained in the top 10 on several
charts. This same album was also nominated among the top 25 best
selling and hot picks Reggae albums for the first quarter of the
year 2002 and in 5 categories in the Merlin awards including song
of the year and artist of the year. His next project was called
“America Bless God” which he did independently in an
effort to encourage America and to send the nation and the people
a message of hope.
Ministry continues to be Osmond’s focus as he aspires to reach
the world in song and ministry on as many levels as God would allow
him.
Next Osmond recorded "Do It Again”. Recognizing that
God had done something extraordinary, he felt a need to cry out
to God "Do it again Lord", and so he did with this powerful
album through which so many miracles were preformed. His newest
effort is called "He Will Restore". Already said to be
one better than the rest. But only God knows what lies ahead for
"He Will Restore" Every song more moving and edifying
on its own.
Among his talents is song writing, both for children and general
age group audiences. His ministry incorporates storybooks, teaching
books and playwriting and screenplays and so much more. In his own
opinion he believes that there are so many ways to reach the world
for the glory of God and he’ll try any righteous thing once.
