In an interview with FreshNewTracks.com, Collin addressed the initial response his “Tears Of Tempo” EP received He said, “When I released my debut “Tears Of Tempo” EP online, people thought I had a ghost producer making my material, since I had never shown aptitude producing anything beyond super raw acoustic covers previously. On top of that the fact that I was on “The Voice” has made it even harder for me to break that stigma of just being a singer, but I think now that I’m showing people what I’m made of the stigma is starting to change. At this point singing is a tool in my arsenal, it isn’t my defining characteristic any longer. Production for me became a way to extend my artistic vision beyond pure words and vocal melody, it allows me to create entire sonic landscapes that house the words I sing or remix.”
McLoughlin has also grown to significant prominence in the world of underground electronic dance music, and has provided vocals for songs well-known in the EDM world, such as “Heartbeat” by the Dutch house duo Vicetone, and more recently, “Collide”, with Laidback Luke & Project 46. In an interview with EDMSauce.com, Collin said “collaborating with Laidback Luke was really cool, I used to frequent his production forum two years ago trying to find any sort of tips I could absorb. To be featured on a track of his that I wrote two years later is pretty surreal.” In addition to his vocal success, McLoughlin has received acclaim for his melodic bass remixes that have been supported by the likes of Don Diablo, Morgan Page, and 3LAU. In 2014 Collin was named as one of the “10 Acts to Watch in 2014” by popular website EDMTunes.com as well as YourEDM.com.
