Chloe Qisha A singer, songwriter and self-taught multi-instrumentalist who makes alternative pop. Born in Malaysia but educated mostly in Britain, Chloe is well travelled, considered and sophisticated but under the chic exterior there is a provocative and restless soul. That dichotomy is reflected in Chloe’s music which is perfect pop but with a dark, playful underbelly. With influences ranging from Troye Sivan & Chappell Roan to Christine And The Queens & Olivia Rodrigo, Chloe is certainly aiming for a big audience but, with her modest elegance & deadpan humor, she is the antithesis of a mass market star. But most of all it is her songwriting that sets Chloe apart. |
