Who is Chloe Fredericks?

Hailing from Halliday, North Dakota, music has always played a big role in Chloe Fredericks' life. She recalls writing her first song at the age of 5 and is a memory that she looks back upon fondly. "We were on the reservation where I'm from in Twin Buttes. It was a long day and my little sister and I were riding behind the huge herd and I just started making up a song." she said, on her website. "Cate soon joined in and it was a song we remembered for a long time but now, can't recall. I remember it was happy though, and about a red wagon." she added. Her mother affectionately nicknamed her 'little singing birdy' and Chloe holds her ranch upbringing in high regard. 



 

While old country music was a big part of her childhood, she now incorporates pop contemporary effortlessly. Although she is relatively new on the LA scene, she released a five-track EP in 2019 with producer Will Hollis. This is one musician you certainly want to keep an eye out for.

As per her NBC bio -- "Chloe Fredericks grew up listening to some of country music’s great artists, including Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline and Emmylou Harris, and often receives comparisons to powerhouse singer-songwriters Adele and Amy Winehouse. Her mom would always call Chloe her “little singing birdy” and some of Chloe’s fondest memories are singing alongside her dad. She was raised on a ranch in North Dakota and learned the cowboy way of living - if you get bucked off of a horse, you get right back on. It's helped carry Chloe through the more trying times in the ever-changing music business."
