Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to work with iconic artists and estates including the Johnny Cash family, Aretha Franklin and Simon & Garfunkel, and each of those experiences has deepened my appreciation for music that transcends generations. Phil Collins’ catalog is in that rare company, his songs are not only global hits but also deeply personal touchstones for millions of people around the world. His music has an immediacy and emotional honesty that continues to resonate across cultures and age groups."
