Colin:
Colin Hatch, songwriter and producer, hails from the well-tuned city of Chicago. Playing the double bass was his bread and butter throughout secondary school, and it was his adeptness with this instrument that earned him a place at Brigham Young University’s School of Music. At BYU, Colin fell in love with songwriting at the same time that he caught the producing bug, prompting a major change from the classical program to Media Music. This course of study stretched his skill set to fit the polyvalence of his multigenred mind, challenging him to craft Michael Jackson-style dancepop beats and coordinate bluegrass threads in addition to his own burgeoning alternative rock voice. It was here that he learned to cowrite and cooperate, and it wouldn’t be long before his several and sundry performing groups would gain enthusiastic followings. The standout progress, however, was certainly made in the area of his own increasingly personal songsmithing, the quality of which was soon recognized by the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, who in 2011 granted him second place and a cherried-out replica of the most imaginative Beatle’s Epiphone Casino guitar. While still attending school, Colin also owns and manages Muse Music Cafe, a local record store, studio, and venue recently nominated as one of Utah's top 25 student owned businesses. As lead studio engineer he applies his flexible sensibilities to demos and albums for individuals and groups from the increasingly viable Provo music scene.
