Chloë–born in Dublin, Ireland–shot to fame for her integral part as the youngest and one of the original members of the world-famous music group, Celtic Woman, which she joined when she was just 14. Considered a renowned worldwide talent, Chloë released 14 albums with Celtic Woman before embarking on a solo career in 2013. During her 10-year tenure with Celtic Woman, they sold more than eight million albums worldwide, all of which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s World Music chart, including the group’s eponymous debut album (2006) which broke Andrea Boccelli’s long-standing record of chart-topping longevity, staying at #1 for 81 weeks. Their second album, Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration (10/19/06), eventually knocked their first album to the #2 spot on the World Music chart. To date, Chloë is featured on a total of 14 of Celtic Woman’s albums, recording songs in English, Irish, Latin, Japanese, Italian and German on their various albums.
Chloë’s resume also includes: recording her first album at age 12 and her second at 14, being awarded the “Best Female Vocalist” at the 2012 Irish Music Awards, performing for the last three consecutive U.S. presidents (before she turned 20), representing Ireland at the First International Children’s Song Competition in 1998 in Cairo, Egypt, where she won the Grand Prix and collaborating with Musical Director David Downes to record “This Holy Christmas Night” to raise money for children affected by 9/11. Chloë has become a familiar face on PBS television with Celtic Woman in recent years, however she made her PBS Debut in 1999 when she performed as part of Handel’s Messiah.
