Biography

Halle Bailey is a force of nature. As one-half of the five-time Grammy-nominated Chloe x Halle, her writing and vocal contributions helped propel the group to be one of the most beloved and critically acclaimed artists in recent history. Fresh off their highly anticipated sophomore album the Ungodly Hour, Halle was cast in the live-action remake of the Disney classic film The Little Mermaid, playing the beloved character of Ariel. Upon this announcement, young women of color all over the world were inspired.

The second release from Chloe x Halle’s latest album Ungodly Hour, “Do It” was an instant fan- favorite complete with its own viral moment. The album was lauded by critics and fans alike and Chloe x Halle owned the summer with their many viral television performances from their backyard tennis court during quarantine and from having landed on the covers of countless magazines showcasing their iconic style and giving fans an inside glimpse into their whirlwind story. But that story wasn’t one of overnight success. Their public journey started fourteen years ago after performing the Beyoncé classic “Best Thing I Never Had” on YouTube which led to two appearances on the Ellen DeGeneres Show after having gone viral. Then the group caught the attention of Beyoncé and was immediately signed to her Parkwood Entertainment Company.

Their debut EP, Sugar Symphony, was released in April 2016. Later that year, they made cameo appearances in Beyoncé's Lemonade visual album. They also served as Beyoncé's opening act for the European leg of “The Formation World Tour.” In the spring of 2017, Chloe x Halle released their self-described, "This is not an album" and "not really a mixtape" critically acclaimed project, The Two of Us, which featured brand new music written and produced by the duo. The project was featured on Rolling Stones’ Best R&B Albums of 2017 list. Later in 2017, Chloe x Halle released the theme song for the hit television show Grown-ish (the Black-ish spin- off) entitled "Grown". The sisters are also co-starring in the show as sisters Sky and Jazz Forster. In March 2018, the duo released their self-produced and self-written debut album, The Kids Are Alright. In May 2018, Chloe x Halle joined the U.S. leg of JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s “On the Run II Tour,” alongside DJ Khaled. The critically lauded Grammy-nominated Chloe x Halle have performed on countless national television networks including opening the Super Bowl with a stunning rendition of “America the Beautiful” among countless other quintessential moments in television history.

Halle Bailey, although already quite the accomplished singer, performer, actor, and musician, is on a path that leads this young woman to live forever among the most iconic stars in history. In fact, Oprah Winfrey announced that Halle Bailey would join the cast of The Color Purple musical film that brought the Broadway show based on Alice Walker’s book to the big screen. With the global massive success of The Little Mermaid and The Color Purple Halle Bailey landed on the cover of Variety Magazine for The Young Hollywood issue.

Halle released her debut single “Angel” this summer. Produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning producer, songwriter, and composer Theron “NeffU” Feemster (Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber, Ne-Yo), the track weaves a cinematic soundscape with a R&B groove punctuated by orchestral arrangements. The song quickly became an anthem on all social media platforms.
