About Colin Bell
New Jersey native Colin Bell knows a thing or two about hustling as a musician.
We first met whilst Colin was the drummer for one of my favorite Reggae bands, Echo Movement (for whom I had my art on two of their studio albums).
Colin is a composer, instructor, dad of two little boys, and has collaborated with the likes of Janina Gavankar, Questlove and myself (Jay Alders).
Colin recently scored the upcoming biopic feature film “Bezos” directed by Khoa Le which chronicles the humble beginnings of Amazon and Jeff Bezos.
