Peter Collins is a record producer, born January 15, 1951, in London.
In 1976 Collins was signed to Magnet Records and formed a group called Madison to perform his pop song "Let It Ring", which reached 54 in the top 100. The four members of the group were Collins, Ziggy, Peter Spooner & Cherri Gilham
Collins moved to the US in 1985 to produce Rush, first working on Power Windows (1985) and then Hold Your Fire (1987). Known at the time as a pop producer, he brought a more heavily synthesized sound to Rush. He has been credited with creating on Power Windows one of Neil Peart's best drum sounds. Rush later invited Collins back to produce Counterparts (1993) and Test for Echo (1996), and in both cases he emphasized a return to Rush's heavier rock sound. For a time, Collins was referred to as "Mr Big".
He has since produced records for Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, Queensryche, Suicidal Tendencies, Indigo Girls, October Project, and the Cardigans.
