About Me


Tampa,Florida, baby. Colleen Orender moved to Nashville in 2003. Colleen began singing and acting at an early age,and after high school she auditioned and was accepted to the musical theatre department at Florida School of the Arts. After college she began her professional career as a featured singer and sketch comedian, in Columbus, Ohio, at the Shadowbox Cabaret 2000. While Colleen was always involved in theatre she also was the lead for several blues and rock bands growing up. When she returned to Florida in 2001, she gathered a few old band mates and friends and soon rekindled her desire to move to Nashville, and show music city something new. Colleen soon met and befriended Anthony Crawford (Neil Young, Dwight Yoakum, Black Hawk) www.anthonycrawfordmusic.com. They soon realized that Anthony's disgusting guitar licks , and Colleen's smoking vocals were a great match. Fit In is a collection of Anthony Crawford songs with Colleen's blue-eyed soul interpretation. Listen up Nashville.
