In a little over a year, COLLEEN FITZPATRICK, better known as the flame-haired singer Vitamin C, has gone from pop's "It Girl" to a pop culture dynamo, conquering radio, video, fashion magazines, movies, and even America's teen prom circuit.

Fitzpatrick started out as a dancer, and began her musical career as the lead singer of the alternative band "Eve's Plum." She became an international sensation when she launched a solo career, calling herself 'Vitamin C'. She rocked the music world with the release of her first album "Vitamin C" in 1999, which produced such hits as "Smile," "Me, Myself and I" and the chart-topping prom anthem "Graduation (Friends Forever)," a song about her life in high school. Her first effort went multi-platinum, and Fitzpatrick was honored with a lipstick named after her (Tommy Hilfiger's exclusive Vitamin C shade) and a Mattel doll created in her image.

Aside from her career in music, Fitzpatrick was also busy with film assignments, but small musical roles dominated her screen work. After making her first appearance in the 1988 movie "Hairspray," she was seen in such films as "Mambo Kings," John Singleton's "Higher Learning," "Crinoline Head," "High School High" and "St. Patrick's Day." After her rise as 'Vitamin C', Fitzpatrick won her first starring role, that of the modern version of Bram Stoker's classic character 'Lucy Westenra' in Dimension Films' "Wes Craven Presents: Dracula 2000" opposite Jonny Lee Miller and Christopher Plummer.

Soon after, Fitzpatrick had a brief appearance as a singing narrator in the 2001 teen film "Get Over It," whose release coincided with the debut of her sophomore album "The Itch." The first single of the same name is also featured in the film's soundtrack. Fitzpatrick was most recently seen in a cameo as a guitarist in the Mark Wahlberg film "Rock Star," and played 'Paprika' in "My Ex-Girlfriend's Wedding Reception." She also contributed to the soundtrack of the Miramax Film "On the Line" with the song "Do You C What I C."

The singer-actress also acts on television, having made guest appearances on the series "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" and "The Equalizer."

Colleen Ann Fitzpatrick was born on July 20, 1972. She currently resides in New York.
