Chloe x Halle (stylized as CHLOE X HALLE) is an American contemporary R&B duo, made up of two sisters named Chloe and Halle Bailey (born July 1, 1998, and March 27, 2000, respectively).
Career
Chloe x Halle first came to national attention after winning Radio Disney's "Next BIG Thing" competition. After their win, they uploaded covers of pop songs to YouTube. A rendition of "Pretty Hurts" caught the attention of the song's original singer, Beyoncé, and her Parkwood Entertainment imprint in 2013.
Their debut EP, Uncovered, was released on September 23, 2013 and the second one, Sugar Symphony, was released on April 29, 2016. Later in 2016, they made cameo appearances in Beyoncé's Lemonade visual album.[1] They later served as Beyoncé's opening act for the European leg of The Formation World Tour.[2]
The sisters also star in Grown-ish.
The single "Warrior" was released on March 7, 2018, via Walt Disney Records and is also featured on the sisters' debut album The Kids Are Alright as well as on A Wrinkle in Time (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) which is the soundtrack album to the 2018 film of the same name.
On April 8, 2018, Chloe x Halle performed "America the Beautiful" to kick off WrestleMania 34.[3]
On May 31, 2018, it was announced that they would serve as the opening act for the US leg of Beyonce and Jay-Z's On the Run II Tour, alongside DJ Khaled.
