COLLEEN K was born the second youngest of five and raised in a small town in Saskatchewan. Throughout the years, music has always been a part of Colleen's life. The vocal harmony of family members singing traditional songs at Christmas and other gatherings, still stir up fond memories. By age 9, Colleen was singing in music festivals and school concerts, and by 14 was lead vocalist in a band formed by a music teacher and did appearances at local events and television. During high school, many hours were enjoyed with friends gathered with a guitar, singing the tunes of John Denver, The Eagles and The Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Her love of music led to performances at weddings, anniversaries and local competitions. Colleen has been inspired by the vocal styles of a variety of artists, ranging from Emmylou Harris to Anne Murray, Jann Arden and Shania Twain. Never limiting herself to only one genre, Colleen believes that music is to be enjoyed. " If I can make someone forget their troubles, and maybe put a smile on their face or touch their hearts with my song - even if it's only for just those few moments - that's what it's all about ". And with her own unique vocal style and heartwarming voice, Colleen K can indeed do just that. Recently, Colleen teamed with songwriter / instrumentalist / producer Kevin Gorwill to record a country/pop CD consisting of original songs written by Gorwill. The CD album titled " Light in Your Eyes " was recorded and produced at Musically Your Records, Kamsack Saskatchewan and released March / 09.
