Born in Cincinnati, OH, Bootsy Collins is an all-time great funk and R&B bassist, singer, bandleader and music producer. From 1969 to 1971, Collins performed with James Brown's backup band dubbed the J.B.'s, his bass driving records like "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine." In 1972, Bootsy joined George Clinton's Parliament/Funkadelic; Collins and Clinton soon established a lifelong personal and musical friendship. He launched Bootsy's Rubber Band as a spinoff of Parliament-Funkadelic in 1976 and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 as part of the P-Funk collective.

Beyond the music, Collins is one of the most colorful personalities in entertainment. Bootsy's custom-built, star-shaped Space Bass, top hat, wild glasses, ever-present smile, and instantly recognizable voice have ensured his long status as a cultural icon. Beloved by original funkateers, next generation hip-hoppers, electronic pioneers, metalheads and more, the forever young Bootsy Collins is the definition of a living legend.
