Christopher Glen Collins is an Australian musician, songwriter, guitarist, audio engineer, music producer, and singer. He is known for his collaborations with Matt Corby and Tyne-James Organ.
Early bands
Tigertown
Collins was songwriter, singer, and guitarist in the indie pop band Tigertown, which formed in 2011. Chris and his then wife Charlie Collins wrote their songs; Charlie's sister Crystal sang and played mandolin; their brother Kurt was the drummer; Chris' sister Elodie was on bass; and their brother Alexi played keyboards. Their first EP was Tigertown, released in 2011, and in that year they were the support act for Mat Corby, Husky, Emma Louise, and Founds. They were a Triple J Unearthed feature artist in 2013, when their members were listed as Chris, Charlie, Alexi, Kurt, and Elodie.

Tigertown released six EPs, starting with Tigertown in 2011 and ending with Warriors in 2017, and were especially known for their songs "Lonely Cities" and "Papernote". According to the staff writer for The Music in 2012, "Their sound is a gorgeous wash of song and subtlety – quiet and layered... Collins specifically avoids words such as 'folk'. One gets the feeling he doesn't want his band (or its members) to become some kind of product."
In February 2018, Tigertown, then consisting of just four members: Chris, Charlie, Elodie and Alexi, announced their breakup.
