On the decks, Colette combines the tunefulness of classic pop songs with the thump of underground house of her hometown. She was voted one of the best DJ’s in Los Angeles by LA Times and her love and devotion to the authentic house sound of hometown Chicago can be heard in every set, and generations of diehard fans never fail to appreciate it. Colette's album 'Hypnotized' was one of the most downloaded House dance albums on iTunes featuring the singles “What Will She Do For Love”, “Didn’t Mean To Turn You On” and “Feelin’ Hypnotized” and Billboard named her album ‘When The Music's Loud’ one of the top 20 albums of the year. In 2023 she celebrated her 10 year anniversary of ‘When The Music's Loud’. In 2024 we saw more new releases on Candy Talk, SubLevel & No Fuss and a studio album named “Flashback” is set for release soon.
