SHE SINGS WHILE SHE SPINS...DJ Colette is one of the first DJs to add her vocals to the record she spins, inspiring a new category of performance in the electronic world. As countless others begin to sing and spin, many can still not compare to the vocal/turntable sessions Colette delivers. How many singing DJs combine up-close observation of the legendary Derrick Carter and Mark Farina dating back to Chicago in the late Eighties with formal operatic training from the ages of nine to eighteen? Probably not many. In fact, there may not be any DJ today who can match the impressive pedigree of former music teacher turned mix-master DJ Colette.
Having already displayed that pedigree in clubs and festivals throughout the world, both on her own and with the beloved SuperJane collective she helped form, Colette is ready to establish herself as an upper-echelon DJ with the release of her Nettwerk America debut 'Our Day'. Colette showcases that operatic training from the outset with the bluesy acapella intro/title track.
Colette's generous nature is something she tried, successfully, to imbue Our Day with. Like it's creator, the CD sings with warmth. "The CD is very summer-y, even though it's coming out in the fall. It's very warm and fun," she says, speaking from LA, where she moved little over a year ago. "With all the music that I've been making I've been really trying to focus on a lot of positive things, both sonically and lyrically."
