Colette is one of the bona fide superstar talents to emerge from the hothouse of the Chicago House Music scene in the 1990s. Living down the street from Gramaphone Records, the classically trained vocalist soon found her way to the vinyl bins and launched a career that has taken her around the world.

In June of this year, Colette launched Candy Talk Records. Few new labels (and there are dozens that pop up every week nowadays) have generated as much buzz. The first release, "Call on Me" (from which the track below is taken) was charted and hyped up damn near everywhere (including by us!)

In this video shot just prior to and at her birthday party in May at SmartBar, Colette talks about her early choirgirl days, singing over DJs after meeting DJ Lego at 16, learning to DJ herself and her relationship with OM Records.
