Colette Marie Trudeau (born June 17, 1985) is a Canadian born Métis singer/songwriter, who first shot to notoriety as a vocalist for the band LiveonRelease.
LiveonRelease was the genesis of Colette Trudeau and Brittin Karroll who had decided to form an all female rock band at the age of 15. Colette used the Georgia Straight, an entertainment newspaper in Vancouver, to recruit the missing members. The band was formed in 1999 when they completed their gang of rocker chicks with Foxx Herst and Leah Emmott. After playing anywhere the band could, the band invited Vancouver rocker Bif Naked to an outdoor show. Bif Naked was so impressed that the group was soon signed to her label “Her Royal Majesty Records”, distributed through Warner Music Canada.
As lead singer, Colette co-wrote their hit single "I'm Afraid of Britney Spears" which appeared in the movie and soundtrack for "Dude, Where's My Car?” The band released 4 music videos on MuchMusic that received heavy rotation and released 2 full length albums in Canada and the U.S. The band toured consistently, covering Canada and the East Coast, including a showcase in New York at the notorious CBGB’s. In 2003 the band split up and Colette decided to pursue a solo career.
Colette quickly signed a production deal with Bananatoons Production and SA Track Works. The relationship between Colette and the production team had been successful and very powerful for her. She began to hone her writing skills and was writing with hit songwriters Sean Hosein, Dane Deviller, Steve Smith,, Anthony Anderson, Brian Howes, Davor Vulama and Eddie Schwartz.
To date, Colette has had her songs “Freeze”, “Stay with me” and “Easier to Miss You” recorded by international artists. As a commercial artist, Colette’s voice has been featured in ad campaigns for products such as Motorola, Kia Auto Dealerships and Callaway Park.
