Born in London, England, Chloe grew up in Chelmsford, Essex. She was awarded a scholarship to the London Studios stage college, where she trained in her craft. In her second year, she auditioned for PopStars: The Rivals TV show and made it to the live shows, leading to a record deal with Warner Brothers as part of a girl group. They shot their first music video in Vancouver, and after leaving the group, she returned to Canada to pursue her career as a solo artist.
She had many experiences that taught her valuable lessons. “If I could share anything, it would be to work hard and get to know who you are,” she says. “Be open, but don’t compromise or be afraid to embrace challenges.”
Chloe wished to fulfill her most cherished dream and trusted God with it.
“Michael Jackson is one of my inspirations,” she quips. “His incredible music and empowering messages to make the world a better place. Whitney Houston’s voice and music; I remember her singing, I Will Always Love You in The Bodyguard movie, that’s when I knew what I wanted to do with my life. Madonna (Immaculate album), Luther Vandross, Mariah Carey, and Spice Girls.”
She feels it’s essential to have healthy mentorship, someone you can trust who has your best interests at heart to help lead, inspire, and ground you. “I believe it fuels youth creativity because anything that creates inspiration expands any mindset. The earlier we begin that journey, the better.”
Chloe isn’t a big sports fan, but she works out. “I enjoy going for walks in nature or by the ocean. I love to write songs. The only book I’m reading right now is the Bible. There are so many amazing stories in there that are inspirational and mind-blowing!”
Perhaps this is why she also wants to live with integrity, optimism, hope, determination, and Compassion. She is working on her character and wants to continue growing in all the fruits of the spirit.
Through the guidance of the Holy Book, she recognizes many vulnerable moment of her life and career. “Anytime I share my story, I always feel vulnerable because of the nature of all I’ve gone through,” she admits. “It has gotten easier over time as I continue to share. I have come to learn that failure is necessary for success. Taking risks and finding the strength to recover when it doesn’t work out is part of the process. You have so much more appreciation when you succeed after you have failed; it’s humbling.”
The most significant risk she had to take was moving to Canada to start a new life, failing, and returning home to the UK. “I moved to Canada for a second time to succeed. Gaining experience from that has built my confidence. There is no quick shortcut via a fast elevator ride to success; you’ve got to take the stairs!”
Chloe is undoubtedly an inspiration to the youth. When she mentors another person, she looks for someone with the right heart posture.
She develops this leadership confidence and voice as a vibrant, bold person. “I’ve always been positive and fearless, especially as a child. There was a time in my life when I went down a dark path, which made me very fearful, but after hitting rock bottom, I restarted my life and went on a soul journey of healing and restoration. From there, I found my true confidence, learned to find my voice, and continued to break free from limiting self-beliefs.”
She believes she can learn anything she puts her mind to, even if not everyone will be in a prominent role. “It’s okay as long as you are walking in your true path and calling. Whether one works as a janitor or a clerk in a supermarket, you can impact someone’s life if you choose to lead with inspiration in whatever position you are given.”
Chloe believes encouragement is a significant key factor. “When we drive people without encouragement, it can feel heavy and frustrating, but encouraging our team players makes people feel seen and valued, ultimately bringing better results.”
She understands social networking is a great avenue to put one’s brand out there, be seen, and connect with people worldwide. “I like human connection in person and always love to have that one-on-one experience, which is not the same behind a screen.”
For the younger generation, Chloe advises: “Find out who God has created you to be and stay focused on your purpose. What is for you will never go past you. Don’t rush the process, work hard but don’t be too hard on yourself!”
Chloe describes herself as: “Bold, loving, and fearless.”
