Colby's rise to fame began at 10 when he became the youngest recording artist ever signed to Motown Records to do a song for a major motion picture soundtrack. The song titled "Mouse in the House" was featured on the 1999 Stuart Little soundtrack. Soon after, he began taking guitar lessons with Johan Oiested, a musician in Carlos Santana’s rhythm section. At age 11, he appeared regularly as an actor on the TV series Grandpa's Garage. By age 14, Colby's passion for music had him opening shows for major recording artists including JoJo, A*Teens, Hoku, S Club 7, Jump5, B-5, Backstreet Boys, Brian McKnight, 98° and 'N Sync. Shortly after his 15th birthday, Colby's parents made the decision to relocate to Los Angeles and pursue a recording deal using Colby’s 100+ song catalogue.
In July 2008, Colby released his first album, Colby O. Colby is currently working on his sophomore album, with a new single titled "I Wanna Touch You" already on radio stations. Other recorded tracks that have leaked online include "Never Fall In Love Again", "Ooh Ahh", "I'm In Love", "Shake Your Body" and "Talkin 'Bout Us".

Whoa, whoa

[Chorus: x4]
Girl, I've been thinkin' bout ya
And I been dreaming bout ya
Hey girl, you're getting hotter
Hotter than the average temperature
Than a man could stand
If you hold my hand
I could be ya man
But I
Didn't know that you'd make this harder
What you trying to say baby running games on me
(but i)
Girl, I will try
(will try)
To give my best to you
(to you)
And do the things
The others wouldn't do
(they wont do)
Cause, your expectations got so high
I could be your guy only if I tried
But I know that I Gotta step my game up yeah yea!
[Chorus]
When you walk two lane on a sunny day
Thinking that you hear me but its not the same
[Chorus]
Every moment pass when you not around
Someone comes up with these drawings
Cause the scent of your clothes
The red blush on your face
Even your swagger makes me wish that I could grab a taste
Don't mean to come on strong, but girl it don't feel wrong
And to be honest, I could see us both together
Cause you don't know
All the hoops I had to go through to get you a second in my life
No you wont go
If I show u the real me sweet and sensitive real me
But I
Girl, I will try
(will try)
To give my best to you
(to you)
And do the things
The others wouldn't do
(they wont do)
Cause your expectations got so high
I could be your guy, only if I tried
But I know that I Gotta step my game up
[Chorus]
When you walk two lane, on a sunny day,
Thinking that you hear me, but its not the same
[Chorus]
Every moment that pass you not around
Someone comes up with these drawings
Cause the scent of your clothes
The red blush on your face
Even your swagger makes me wish that I could grab a taste
Don't mean to come on strong, but girl it dont feel wrong
And to be honest, I could see us both together
Don't be distant, don't be shy
With one try,
Ill have you shaking cooking baking
Oh yes baby,
Girl you'll fly, and like what ill do to you
Girl ill break my back, to cover all your needs
Ass long as you is pleased, it don't matter to me
If I break my back then it was all worth it to me
Cause in the end ill finally be with the woman of my dreams yeah!
[Chorus]
When you walk two lane on a sunny day
Thinking that you hear me but its not the same
[Chorus]
Every moment pass when you not around
Someone comes up with these drawings
Cause the scent of your clothes
The red blush on your face
Even your swagger makes me wish that I could grab a taste
Don't mean to come on strong, but girl it don't feel wrong
And to be honest, I could see us both together
