MARCO COLLINS
Legendary Rock DJ (formerly KNDD "The End" Seattle)
Marco Collins is one of the last great Rock radio DJs. Not many outside of Seattle may know Marco's story, but the role he played in the 1990s as a DJ at legendary Alt outlet KNDD "The End" is what made Seattle synonymous with grunge music. He championed little known acts, often being the one to break them into the mainstream. The bands that Marco broke - including Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Hole, Beck, Foo Fighters, Everclear, Garbage and Weezer - went on to international stardom, which helped establish him as one of music's most influential tastemakers.
He was instrumental in bringing electronic music to the masses in the US and is still plucking bands from obscurity and providing them with a platform. So although Marco's story is about MUSIC, it's really about the passionate, relentless and uncompromising support of artists. Marco has never been content to let talent fly under the radar - after all, where would any artist be without those who championed them? Marco presented the music that shaped not only our youth, but that of an entire generation.
