Though he was the rapper of the Collective, his singing ability helped him gain online exposure with acoustic R&B covers of Justin Bieber, Fetty Wap, Alessia Cara, TLC, Adele, and his most popular, Drake’s “Hotline Bling.” Singe and his Collective bandmates released one self-titled album after the X-Factor in 2012 and toured into 2014, when the group disbanded.
