Bio
.. .. .. My name's Chloe, I was born in a creative and musical family and have been singing since I can remember. My first recording as well as my first performance for a large audience experience was at the age of 8, and since then I've played cities like Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City, Halifax, Charlottetown, Thunder Bay, New York City, Nashville, Memphis, and New Orleans. I've recorded in such studios as Muscle Shoals, Sun Studios, and more. Over my adolescence and young adulthood I've had a lot of recording experience, and lots of performing experience in choirs, as backup and as a lead singer. Over the past two years I've started singing backup vocals for Floyd Factor; canada's pink floyd tribute, including the vocal solo on Great Gig in the Sky, footage of which can be seen on youtube.com. For about a year and a half, I've been singing lead vocals with my band The Crossroads, performing Soul, Funk, Motown, Blues and more. We'vee done bars around Ontario and private parties. I've had a few other projects, including Grossman's Gospel Revival (my baby), Strut Check (ska/rock) and coming soon; Third Day Stupids (punk/soul). Recently, I joined canada..s Neil Young tribute, Powderfinger and I..m playing my first gig with them near the end of april! I have a very versitile voice, powerfull with good range and I am for hire for various projects. I have expereince recording, performing lead and harmony, acting, dancing and more. I've played charity events for the war resisters, the ASPCA and Kids Helping Kids, I've sang in theatres, bars, festivals, private parties and more. I can do (and enjoy doing) anything from jazz to motown to rock and everything in between.
