Colette Bio:
Chicago native and Los Angeles resident Colette has a unique career trajectory and influence as an international DJ, singer, songwriter, and landmark figure of American dance music. Colette has been an integral part of the Midwestern underground since 1994 – from her first mixtape in 1998 “Floating By” to her 2024 production commencement of her fifth studio album “Flashback”, she has blazed her own distinctive trail through electronic music.
Crafting events first as a promoter in Chicago — ones that would see most of Chicago’s 2nd generation of house music artists and DJs graduate to global scales — her Material events at the storied Club Shelter in the West Loop neighborhood were seminal in the development of the 90’s house sound of Chicago’s Northside. An alto since early adolescence, her natural gravitation towards integrating live vocals over DJ sets and songs would become a benchmark of Colette’s pioneering music career in DJ performance and record production over the next three decades. Charting her first Billboard No. 1 Dance Club Play Single with “What Will She Do for Love”, the debut long-play effort from Colette became the most downloaded dance album on Apple’s iTunes in June 2005, with the title track, “Feelin’ Hypnotized”, being licensed to the soundtrack of the movie, “The Devil Wears Prada”. Not her last silver screen placement, her track “I Like The Way” produced in 2004 with OM Records label partner, Kaskade, would be featured in 2008’s “Sex and the City” movie soundtrack.
Launching her own imprint in 2010 — a goal she had for the better part of a decade — Colette put together Candy Talk Records as a platform to have more creative control over her music, curation, and collaborations. Running a successful Pledge campaign to fund her third studio album, 2013’s ‘When The Music’s Loud’, featuring the single “Hotwire”, would see Billboard name it one of the top 20 Dance Music Albums of 2013, with Thump/VICE naming it “One of The 99 Greatest Dance Albums of All Time” in July of 2015. She released her fourth studio album ‘Retrospective’ in 2017 and the second on her own label. This 2-part album features a collection of remixed works spanning her entire career, featuring production from artists such as Gettoblaster, Derrick Carter, Demarkus Lewis, Local Options, Change Request, and many more. 2020 saw the return collaboration with her OM labelmate, Kaskade, on their single “When I’m With You”, which has been streamed over 6 millions times. 2025 sees Colette starting work on her fifth studio album, releasing new remixes of “Didn’t Mean To Turn You On” and playing select Second City Sessions shows with DJ Heather while performing solo shows for fans worldwide.
