Originally from Vancouver Canada but now living in Graz Austria, Colleen first got involved in the electronic music scene back in 96/97 from influences such as Front 242, Depeche Mode and New Order. She then became acquainted with the art of spinning through DJ Dr Phreak and in the fall of '97 she helped him run the 1409 Afterhours. It became quite popular in the Vancouver underground as they were able to host such djs as Mike Huckaby and David Alvarado. She then took up djing in 1999.

Since then Colleen has built up a solid reputation for her dj skills with her unique blend of techno, tech-trance and acid techno and this has allowed her to be billed with mainstay artists such as Claude Young, Technasia, Chris Liberator, DAVE the Drummer, Massimo, Slobodan aka Staffan Ehrlin, Renato Cohen, Jay Denham, British Murder Boys, James Ruskin, Pacou Asuna, Mark EG and Billy Nasty. She has also had the opportunity to play at some of the best venues and events around the world (Hifi Bar-Australia, Warehouse-Calgary Canada, Sonar-Vancouver Canada, Ray Junior-Montreal Canada, Club Extravaganza-Croatia, Stereodrome-Slovakia, Supalova Club-Slovakia, Eternity-Czech Rep, Fabric-Czech Rep, Cosmic Trip Festival-Czech Rep, Sun City-Austria, Obsession Festival-Austria, Cazin Club-Austria, Kuca Club-Serbia, Euforia Club-Trieste Italy, Stuk-Slovenia, The Zoo-Belgium).

Colleen worked with the Soundproof Crew from 98-03, a group which is responsible for building up the underground party scene on the Canadian Westcoast by putting on quality events that cater mostly towards the harder techno and trance genres. However, near the end of 2003 she decided to relocate to Graz Austria to focus more on production and djing. She is currently working on producing her own music, has been doing collaboration work with Lori the hifi Princess and is planning to do work with Dean Rodell. As well, Colleen writes a monthly column for the Australian based electronic music website, 12AM.com.au, and this features dj interviews, event reviews/pictures and news about the Austrian techno scene. Known for her energetic and charismatic performances, Miss Innocent is one dj you do not want to miss as she will definitely leave a lasting impression on anyone that see her play.

Victoria BC, Vancouver BC, Calgary AB, Edmonton AB, Saskatoon SK, Regina SK, Winnipeg MB, Toronto ON, Ottawa ON, Montreal QB, Quebec City QB, Sherbrooke QB, Orlando FL, Cleveland OH
