Collins' voice teacher from his youth, Gail Grossman, is not surprised at his success.

"He had a beautiful voice, a beautiful instrument," said Grossman, who still teaches voice in her Allentown studio. "He just had this innately. I truly believe this is something you're born with."

Collins' parents also are proud. "We always knew he would make it" as a singer, said Collins' father, Gerald, who lives with his wife, Gloria, in the Allentown home where Jerome grew up. "He could harmonize as a baby. He shocked me."

Chase's mother, Rose Shilanskas, was just as confident her son's talent and efforts eventually would lead to something big. "I'm very proud of him," she said. "He's been working with his music for a long time."
