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]
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. Howl released "Work" on 4 October 2018, the lead single from her EP of the same name, released on 29 November 2018. Howl released "Millionaire" on 7 March 2019.
