When Halle was young, she began creating her own music and watched YouTube tutorials to learn how to play an instrument. She began learning how to write songs at the age of 8 from her father and co-manager, Douglas, who taught her to do everything independently.
The sisters appear to be closer to their parents than ever. In an Instagram post for Father's Day 2020, they thanked their father for being their manager, lawyer, and all-around support system as they negotiated their quick rise to stardom. Additionally, they created a Mother's Day-themed Facebook post for their mother, as per Distractify.

Courtney and Douglas' role in Halle's life
Courtney and Douglas are more than parents to singer sisters Chloe and Halle. They have been married for more than 20 years. Although they appear to be a happy pair, their marriage has had its share of difficulties. Before making a big move to Los Angeles in 2012, the family was living in Mableton, Georgia. This move proved to be a catalyst for the sisters' musical journey.
Douglas and Courtney Bailey have helped their daughters, Halle and Chloe, as they have pursued acting and their R&B trio. In addition to their success in music, the sisters have appeared in the television shows 'Grown-ish' on Freeform and 'The Fighting Temptations'.
Early on, the couple recognized their daughters' skills and pushed them to pursue them. They also instructed them in the fundamentals of songwriting, and the rest is history. Chloe and Halle, who were YouTube stars in the early 2010s, are now well-known actresses and singers. They have collaborated with individuals like Michelle Obama and Beyonce. Additionally, they have had songs chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and received several Grammy nominations.
Douglas was accused of domestic violence
In 2007, Doug was accused of two counts of family violence battery, one offense of simple battery, and one allegation of third-degree cruelty to minors, according to RadarOnline. He was also charged with assaulting Halle and Chloe's mother and was sentenced to a nine-month domestic violence program.
Following his incarceration, Douglas's criminal case was suspended for nine months so that he could participate in and successfully finish a domestic violence rehabilitation program. The father was also prohibited from speaking with Halle's mother at the time. Eventually, Douglas was exonerated of all charges. Although the severity of Douglas' alleged activities at the time is unknown, Chloe and Halle's parents still appear to be close to the sisters now.
