Chlöe Bailey

Artist Biography by Neil Z. Yeung Making a splash on the contemporary R&B scene in the late 2010s as part of the critically acclaimed sibling duo Chloe x Halle, American vocalist, musician, producer, and actor Chloe Bailey went from viral Beyonce covers to multiple Grammy nominations within a decade. In the 2020s, she took steps into the spotlight as a solo artist with her cover of "Feeling Good" from Liberated: Music for the Movement, Vol. 3 and her Murda Beatz-produced debut single "Have Mercy." Lemonade Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, the self-taught musician and producer began her career at a young age, securing acting roles in Disney productions as well as in films such as The Fighting Temptations starring Beyonce. After covers of that superstar's "Best Thing I Never Had" and "Pretty Hurts" went viral, the pair signed to Beyonce's Parkwood label. They soon appeared on her Lemonade album and, within a week, made their debut with the five-track Sugar Symphony EP. Chloe x Halle went on to tour with their mentor and release a pair of Grammy-nominated, critically lauded LPs -- 2018's The Kids Are Alright and 2020's Ungodly Hour -- with Chloe either producing or co-producing most of the songs. Chloe and her sister also contributed the theme song to the television show and Black-ish spin-off Grown-ish, in which they played classmates of series star Yara Shahidi. Outside of Chloe x Halle, she also used her voice for the empowerment of young women, performing an interpretation of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good" for 2021's Liberated: Music for the Movement, Vol. 3. She also joined the cast of the supernatural thriller The Georgetown Project starring Russell Crowe. That August, she released her official debut solo single, "Have Mercy."
