In the
beautifully picturesque small town of Bernalillo, New Mexico, nine year old
Kolle wrote her first poem for a school class. She received an A for
her composition and a life-long creative fire was lit. The progression
from poetry to music was a natural inevitably by age 16 when she wrote her
first song. After developing a talent for flute and guitar by her late
teens, it was clear that music would greatly define Kolle’s life and
livelihood. After graduating from the University of New Mexico, where
she was a Presidential Scholar and a cheerleader, Kolle became a stock
broker, keeping music close to her heart and soul. Blessed with
natural athleticism and a fabulous zest for life, Kolle rides a Harley
Sportster, is a scuba diver and is currently pursuing her pilot’s license. While being influenced by artists as diverse as Olivia Newton-John, Linda Ronstadt, Ricky Lee Jones, Melissa Etheridge and Madonna, Kolle has studied and absorbed the best elements of all of these artists’ music to create songs that sometimes defy category. While musically, Kolle’s songs inspire the listener to get up and dance with an infectious blend of Rock, Pop and Funk, it’s her message of joy and hope in the lyrics that she hopes they take home with them. While music is entertainment, Kolle believes that it should also be a catalyst for change when there is injustice, as well as a celebration of life. "I want my music to uplift the human spirit as well as make you want to dance". This passion for her songs has spilled over into her live performances. Incorporating both music and dance into her concerts, Kolle’s shows have been called high-energy, captivating and even titillating. In her typical "all or nothing" style, Kolle has crafted her live performances into a visual and musical experience that leave her audiences spellbound, uplifted and entertained. From humble beginnings in the culturally rich Southwest and with the constant love and support from a large musical family, Kolle is well-grounded and well-prepared to take her thrilling music and positive message to the masses. Her songs and performances have caught the ear of publishers and producers in Nashville and Los Angeles and it’s just a matter of time till the world knows the passion, hope and sheer joy, that is the music of Kolle.
