 Lukk feat. Felicia Collins
Felicia Collins began playing with local bands, when she arrived in New York City in the 80s. She met and became friends with producer and artist Nile Rogers. So impressed with her guitar talents, he offered Felicia studio work on various projects. On Mr. Rogers's recommendation, the Thompson Twins invited Felicia to play guitar on their upcoming world tour. Felicia's guitar work can be heard on Cyndi Lauper's mega hit "Girls Just Want To have Fun".
In the summer of 1985, Felicia made her live debut with the Thompson Twins at none other than Live Aid!, the famine relief project led by Bob Geldoff, the mastermind who served as the catalyst for 'We Are the World." Soon after that gig, Felicia found herself touring with jazz giant, Al Jarreau, after being featured on his "L is for Lover" album (1986), on a song called Pleasure. While the two genres are assuredly different, Felicia quickly found herself an integral part of the Jarreau set.
Felicia Collins joined the CBS Orchestra "Late Show with David Letterman" on August 30, 1993 - the premiere broadcast of the program. Aside from being a versatile rhythmic guitarist, she is also known for her extraordinary vocal skills.
