Early life
editBorn in New Jersey, Collins was exposed to music at an early age and began weekly classical piano lessons at age four. Collins's first experience with music software was Easy Beat by Ergonis Software, a multitrack MIDI sequencer for Mac, which he used at age eight to sequence out random music ideas. At age 11, he obtained a new Mac with GarageBand, which furthered his music production interest. At age 13, he began learning bass guitar and digital music production on Logic Pro.[5][6][7] He later played in several rock and metal bands.[5][8] Collins began producing trance music at age 15, around 2008.[2]
Career
edit2010–2012: Early success
editAu5's debut release was the self-released ten-track album Minimality in September 2010,[9] which featured both electronic and acoustic styles[5] such as trance, ambient, acid jazz and piano. This was followed by the self-released eight-track album Anchus Definy in June 2011,[10][8] which was the first release to feature dubstep. In May 2012, Au5 released his first EP, Iconoclast, on Atom Recordings, which consisted of five dubstep tracks.[11] He subsequently released a dubstep VIP of "The Seahorse" from Anchus Definy and an original dubstep track titled "Iteration" on Excision's label Rottun Recordings in June 2012.[12][13] After one year in college, Collins dropped out around late 2012 to pursue the Au5 project.[14]
In November 2012, Au5 and American producer BT released the house track "Partysaurus Overflow".[15] The track was inspired by BT's house track "Partysaurus Rex", which was featured on the 2012 Toy Story Toons short of the same name. The Au5 and BT version would later be included on the 2014 Walt Disney Records compilation album Dconstructed.[16]
In January 2013, Au5 and Brazilian duo I.Y.F.F.E. won a 2012 remix contest held by Seven Lions for their drumstep remix of his dubstep track "Days To Come".
