She was born into a musical family. Outkast, Jill Scott, and Music Soulchild rang throughout her Atlanta home, and she was drawn to jazz artists like Nina Simone and Billie Holiday. Halle and Chloe Bailey, now 24, performed around town for those who wanted to listen. They insisted, “Can I sing for you?” She remembered asking So So Def Records executive Jermaine Dupri. And soon local producers knew their names. They posted covers of her classic R&B titles online, and when Beyoncé’s interpretation of “Best Thing I Never Had” went viral, Beyoncé herself discovered them, and subsequently her label Parkwood. entered into a contract with Entertainment.
As geniuses under Beyoncé’s tutelage, the sisters each released their own albums and were each nominated for five Grammy Awards. They opened for her Formation World Tour in Europe in 2016, and performed on her On the Run II Tour two years later. From international teen concerts to starring in ‘negro’ spin-offs “Mature” We were together and almost never parted. It was while filming 2020’s The Little Mermaid that Halle realized she was separated from her sister. Despite this, Chloe’s cheering overflowed.
“She was really encouraging me in so many ways and was trying to say, ‘You have beautiful wings, fly away,'” Halle said. “So it’s really nice to have her best friend say that.”
They have their own apartment but live in the same apartment complex. Khloe was by her sister’s side when she got the call that Halle had won her lead role, and they both burst into tears.
Director Rob Marshall and fellow ‘The Little Mermaid’ producer John DeLuca were eyeing the role of Bailey from the moment he saw the movie where Chloe x Halle paid tribute to Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack. was “Where Is the Love” at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
“When I saw this otherworldly girl with an angelic voice, I thought, wow, who is this,” Marshall said in a video call.
