Bo Collins

 Bo began his Christian music career in 2006 at the age of 14.  Both Collins men play in the band Seventy Times Seven (www.70×7.com) and are the group’s principal writers.

Seventy Times Seven was founded by B.J. Collins in 1996, and began publishing RealAudio and MP3 recordings on the 70×7.com website in 1997. The band’s songs have been heard by listeners from all over the world, and there have already been over three million downloads of the band’s music from online music websites like Amazon.comiTunes.com, eMusic.com, Mp3.com, ReverbNation.com, Spotify.com, Soundclick.com, ArtistLaunch.com, and Mp3.com.au (Australia).
