Description

I can sing solo with backing tracks or with live music as a duo or trio. I can sing with your own band or musicians if you prefer.
For private functions we can bring all necessary music equipment if required. I use a compact Bose system for vocals which is easy to transport and set up in a small space.
We sing covers, mainly jazz standards and pop classics. We can arrange a set to suit the occasion if required and will discuss with the client if they want specific songs included.
I can sing in French and a few Spanish and Brasilian Portuguese songs.

Colette - Trio - Balham, London Event Location: Suffolk Event Type: New Years Eve Party 1st January 2024

Simply fabulous! Hired Colette for New Years Eve party. We hold a big black tie event at our house every year and invite celebrity friends and always like to provide live music. Colette and her band were excatly what we needed to set the party off and no one wanted tgem to stop. So at the end of her second set I asked if they would stay on. She agreed and ran an open mic night for the guests who were then able to sing with her band. It was a fantastic evening and I have already asked Colette if she will perform at our summer garden party. Many thanks to Colette & Co!

Colette - Trio - Balham, London Event Location: Wimbledon, London Event Type: Street Party - Coronation 7th May 2023

Colette & Co were a fabulous addition to our street party. The music was a great selection, brilliantly performed and Colette’s voice was lovely . They were fun and chatty and entered into the spirit of the occasion. So many people mentioned how good the band were. We would love to have them again. Such a professional unit. How Colette stands and performs in those shoes we don’t know but she so looked the part. Thank you!

Meet the Act

After learning to sing and perform, I started out by running a small business of themed karaoke nights. I wanted to bring a cabaret concept to karaoke to engage the crowd and involve them at another level.
I then progressed to singing at private events using backing tracks and found musicians to produce live music which I really love. I love to perform and entertain - and of course to sing!
I volunteered at a local cancer charity and started a singing group for clients and their relatives to help them with music as therapy.
I ran a weekly zoom music meetup through lock down where people c ... ould sing or play online as if they were in a music bar.
I like to engage and joke a little with a crowd. I have a friendly, fun and relaxed manner with them. I like people and they seem to like me as a performer. I often get great feedback on the day and people comment not just on the the timbre of my voice but also my delivery style, I have been told I have a lovely manner and great charisma.
