JL picked up a guitar at the age of 13 and has not looked back since. Playing in South Carolina and then Florida, where he gained experience performing on stages across the states. JL and his band won the South Florida Regional Blues Challenge and made it to the semi-finals at the 2016 IBC. His debut EP On Down The Road has brought him even more notice.

Colin has won 6 Juno Awards and 17 Maple Blues Awards and on his new album, Blue Highways, he pays tribute to some of his Blues idols including Jimmy Reed, Freddie King Jr and Buddy Guy.
