In the fall of 2009  the artist moved to NYC briefly , where she performed with  successful national artists Soullive, Lettuce and Nigel Hall.

Jan 2010, found Chloe living in Los Angeles and finding the perfect location for a big career in the music business.  The artist has appeared with Ceelo Green and Randy Jackson ( Lead singer in Randy Jackson’s making the band) in addition to  playing with her own self-titled group “Chloe”.  She has toured worldwide with  members of the “This Is It” band as lead guitarist In Japan as well.

Currently Chloe has been signed to major recording label Music Masters Inc. and the music label is in preparation for marketing and promoting her new musical EP  in the winter of 2011.  States Chloe, “I am so excited to have signed with major record label Music Masters, because with them, music comes first. It is so rare that artists are able to stay true to their roots long enough to do something timeless, as the industry today is about formula as opposed to talent. Other labels may produce cash cows, but Music Masters will foster the genius of some of the brightest young stars of today, because talent is required, and they have the resources.”

Chloe Pappas is one of the most talented female vocals I’ve had the pleasure of working with in my career thus far. It’s not every day you hear a creative blend of soul, rock, blues, with a hint a funk in ONE artist. When I first joined the Chloe’s camp, and heard her music, I was immediately blown away with the energy of her sound, while still maintaining a great sense of musicality.- Steven Robinson- drummer

 

Chloe has a tremendous amount of onstage charisma that is matched off-stage by her commitment to her craft.  This combination all but assures her a place as a future soul-infused star along the lines of the great Bonnie Raitt and other amazing blue-eyed soul sisters! – Tanisha Jackson, artist manager for Morris Pleasure.

Chloe Pappas is an incredibly talented and charismatic vocalist, performer and musician. I had the great pleasure of working with her on a tour in Japan and Korea recently and found her to be not only professional and inspirational but also a joy to be around. She is one of my favorite vocalists I have worked with. I would recommend her highly for anything she would be interested in undertaking.
