In 2007, Colton released the album “Here Right Now,” which reached No. 2 on the Billboard New Artist/Heatseeker chart and No. 4 on the iTunes Pop Album chart. The album’s success landed him performances on the “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” the “Today” show and “Late Show with David Letterman,” among others.
