Anthony Monteleone (vocals)Collage is an American freestyle group, featuring vocalist Anthony Monteleone and producer/songwriter Adam Marano, who also ran the Viper Records label for which Collage recorded. Viper's parent label Metropolitan issued the Viper's Freestyle Hit Parade compilation in 1994; it helped break the Collage single "I'll Be Loving You" nationally, reviving the freestyle sound that had produced a number of club and pop hits during the late 80s.
Debut album Chapter One was released later that year, producing another hit in the follow-up Gangster of Love; it also prominently featured female backup vocalist Denine. Collage's success helped spark a renewal of interest in freestyle during the 90s (on a more underground rather than mainstream level), and Marano went on to work with several other vocalists like Alexia Phillips, Chris Phillips, Denine, Rockell and others.
The second Collage album Chapter II released in 1999, didn't appear for another five years. However, it still managed to produce a hit single Angel. Third album Chapter 3 was released in late 2001, spawning the hit single Tonight. In 2007. was released final studio album Chapter 4.
