Artist History Chloe London grew up in Lower Manhattan in New York City. At the ageof nine, she heard her first Blondie album, Parallel Lines, and knew thatwhat she wanted to do was perform in a band. But it took a progressionof going through playing guitar, drums and bass before she realized thatwhat she was was a singer. She would lock herself in her room beltingout songs from Blondie to Heart albums. She knew she had a voice, butalso that it would take a lot of hard work to develop it and find herown style. As a young teenager, she was constantly breaking curfew tohang out in clubs with friends, listening to bands. At 13, she wasgetting on the subway and auditioning for bands in the basements ofvarious New York apartment houses. Something of a street girl, shebefriended musicians and would manage to con her way into their gigs andup on stage to sing with them.At the age of 17, frustrated with the New York music scene, she knewthat LA was the place for her to go, where the scene was on fire. Shehad little money and no place to live, but just packed her bags and lefthome. She did have a couple of friends in LA who would let her crash ontheir couches, living on peanut butter sandwiches and working variouslow-grade jobs just to subsist. Not wasting any time, she began workingwith a series of bands, playing the clubs of LA. Still, at the age of21, she was still searching for her true musical identity, singing everytype of music from hard rock to pop, but mainly alternative. Playing inbands signed to minor record labels was no fun--touring under miserablecircumstances, gigging in clubs. She chalks all this up toexperience.A major turning point came the following year when, while driving homefrom a rehearsal one night, on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, a bus rana light at an intersection, hitting her car on the driver's side, andliterally ripping the car in half. All she remembers is one minutethinking about changes in her career, and then waking up in a hospitalbed, looking at faces she didn't recognize but that knew her. She wastold she had been in a severe accident, sustaining a broken leg, adislocated shoulder and head injuries. The recovery was long andpainful, but it gave her a break from her life that allowed her to forma new perspective on the way she wanted to do things, the changes shewould make. During her recuperation, she started writing song lyricsevery day and for the first time felt she had found her own style,writing about her vulnerabilities and pain, just letting all herfeelings out. "That was my therapy," she says, "it was the biggestrelease imaginable, Every song I wrote was like another weight liftedoff me. I didn't realize all the turmoil I had bottled up inside untilI started letting go of it. It was overwhelming, but freeing."Chloe studied voice from the age of 15, but realized it would take alifetime to match the vocal talent of such phenomenal singers as PatBenatar and Ann Wilson. What she knew was that what she possessed wasattitude and that would be her voice she wasn't striving for perfectionvocally but just wanted to emanate a potent vibe, no matter whatreaction it might provoke. Her vocal style changed. She opened herselfup to a larger range of musical idioms, getting into and exploring theunderground scene. With her vocals and lyrics that explore music'sdarker edge, London has been compared to everyone from Garbage to NineInch Nails. Now, having completed her first solo album, titled X, withproducer Keith Sterling, she has created a dynamic and unique sound.
