Early life
Chlöe Howl (real name Chlöe Howells)[1] was born on 4 March 1995 in England. The unusual use of the diaeresis above the "o" in her name is said to be a mistake her parents made on her birth certificate.[2] Her father is from Wales and her mother is English. She grew up in the village of Holyport, near Maidenhead, Berkshire.[3] She attended Holyport Primary,[4] and then Altwood Secondary School.[3] At the age of 10 she recorded and sold her own Christmas CD (singing All I Want for Christmas Is You[5]) to help raise funds for her primary school.[4] Howl left school aged 16 and signed a record deal with Columbia Records shortly afterwards.[6] For a brief time she worked in an office, but spent much of the following three years writing and recording songs for her debut album.[7]
2013–present
On 4 March 2013, her first extended play, Rumour, was released for free download. In June 2013, she released the video for her first single, "No Strings". She released a second extended play No Strings on 26 August.[7] "No Strings" was part of the soundtrack for the movie Kick-Ass 2.[7] On 9 December 2013, her second single "Paper Heart" was released.[8]
On 2 December 2013 she was nominated for the BBC Sound of 2014.[9] On 5 December 2013 she was shortlisted for the 2014 BRIT Awards: Critics' Choice Award,[10] eventually finishing behind Sam Smith.[11] Howl was included in the New Artists 2014 list by iTunes, along with MØ, Sam Smith and Dan Croll.[12] Howl supported Ellie Goulding at some of her 2014 shows in Europe.[13] In March 2014 she released "Rumour" as her third single.[14]
It was expected that her debut studio album Chlöe Howl would be released in 2014 by Columbia Records (Sony Music),[8][15] but by April 2015 it was being reported that she had left Sony Music.[16] She released a new single "Bad Dream" via the indie label Heavenly Songs in April 2015.[16] In May 2015 she teamed up with fashion house Fendi to model their new range of Orchidea sunglasses.[17] In June 2016 she appeared alongside Ella Eyre in a video promoting the Nintendo 3DS handheld console.[18]
Her single, "Magnetic" was released on 16 June 2017, followed by "Do It Alone" which was released on 26 October 2017.
