The teenage singing phenomenon Chloe Wang burst on the China scene a year ago. The half Chinese American entertainer from Chicago created her first music video in Mandarin & English and performed live at a concert before 30,000 people seemingly overnight. She didn’t have much experience dancing and singing at the same time, but her determination brought her through.

Chloé was born to a Chinese father and an American mother. Although she was born and raised in the US, she always had an interest in learning about her Chinese roots. Chloé’s grandmother left Shanghai for America in 1957, and worked as the Head of International Fashion for the New York Times. Her curiosity and passion to learn about her Chinese heritage led her to China, where she is determined to start her music career.

Not only is she developing her career in China, but she’s also taking cracks at the US market. She’ll be one of the hosts along with Nick Cannon and Aaron Fresh on the upcoming show The Nightlife on Teen Nick. Look for her Thursday nights in August.
