James Maxwell Stuart Collins III (born August 28, 1978) is the lead singer and bass guitarist of Eve 6. He authored most of the band's songs. He met lead guitarist Jon Siebels in high school, and the two formed a band. In May 2003, Collins was arrested for indecent exposure around the time the band was prepping for its third album, It's All in Your Head.^[1] Subsequent to poor sales of Its All In Your Head (192,000 Units Moved), Eve 6 was released from their recording contract and disbanded.

From mid-2004-May 2005, Collins performed in a band under the name Brotherhood of Lost Dogs with the drummer from Fountains of Wayne, Brian Young and bassist Joe "Bass" Howard formerly of The Posies. They played live shows in the Los Angeles area and never released any recorded material.

In June 2005, Collins began a new project, The Sugi Tap, with former band member in Eve 6, Tony Fagenson. In October 2007 The Sugi Tap was put on hold "indefinitely".

The band had released an EP, formerly available at http://www.thesugitap.com, but now only the album art of the EP and a link to Eve 6's Myspace page is available.

Collins primarily plays Fender jazz basses.

As of October, 2007, Eve 6 has officially stated that they are returning, minus Jon Siebels, who is currently replaced by a temporary guitarist, Matt Bair of "The Sequel".

As of July 2011, Eve 6 has reunited completely, with all three original members returning. They are currently working on their next studio album, which is due to be released around the end of 2011.
