Behind the Duo: Chloe X Halle

Chloe x Halle is an American R&B duo composed of sisters Chloe and Halle Bailey. At a young age, the sisters performed in minor acting roles before moving from Atlanta to Los Angeles in 2012. The two began posting music covers to YouTube and were discovered by Beyoncé, who became their mentor and later signed them to her label, Parkwood Entertainment. They subsequently released the EP Sugar Symphony (2016), as well as the mixtape The Two of Us (2017).

The duo gained further prominence after starring in the sitcom Grown-ish (2018–present) and releasing their debut album The Kids Are Alright, (2018), for which they earned two Grammy Award nominations for Best New Artist and Best Urban Contemporary Album. In 2020, they released their second studio album Ungodly Hour, which was a commercial and critical success. The album’s lead single “Do It” became the duo’s first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
