Halle Bailey is a singer & actress, and is half of the contemporary R&B duo, Chloe x Halle. Halle was selected to play Princess Ariel in the company’s upcoming live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid. She began making a name for herself as an actress on ABC’s Grownish, a spinoff of its popular series, Blackish that premiered in 2018, but she developed an even bigger fanbase far before that on YouTube.
Halle, alongside her older sister Chloe, have amassed more than one million subscribers on YouTube thanks to their astonishing covers of songs from artists like Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and Beyoncé since launching the channel in 2006. They launched their YouTube channel at the ages of 13 and 11, respectively, with a cover of Beyoncé’s “Best Thing I Never Had”. Their covers became so popular that they attracted the attention of Beyoncé herself. She signed both women to her label after discovering their videos, and they’re often described as Queen Bey’s prodigies. They made cameo appearances in Beyoncé’s Lemonade visual album. They later served as Beyoncé’s opening act for the European leg of The Formation World Tour, and in 2018, it was announced that they would be the opening act for the U.S. leg of Beyonce and Jay-Z’s On the Run II Tour, alongside DJ Khaled.
In 2018, the duo released their debut album, The Kids Are Alright. The album and Chloe x Halle were nominated for two Grammy Awards, “Best Urban Contemporary Album” and “Best New Artist”, respectively. Chloe x Halle write and arrange all of their songs in their home studio. They also play their own instruments. Halle considers herself a “jazz-head” and has been listening to Billie Holiday since she was five years. On February 3, 2019, Chloe x Halle sang “America the Beautiful” at Super Bowl LIII.
