Chloe Chavis, known professionally as Chlothegod, is an American singer-songwriter from Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Life and career

Chloe Chavis was born and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina.[2] Her father was in the military, and she moved to different places growing up as a military brat.[3][4] Chavis graduated from Terry Sanford High School,[2] where she tried musical theatre and acting before deciding to pursue music at the age of 15;[5] she said that whilst liked to express herself, she wanted to tell her own story and not someone else's.[5][6] In 2017,[7] whilst attending college, Chavis released her debut extended play (EP), The Story Behind. The EP and the track "See Me" garnered attention, leading her and a friend to organize a ten-date city tour.[3] Her second EP, Statement, was released in 2018.[7] By early 2021, Chavis had become frustrated with her lack of recognition and success and planned to leave her music career behind, but still felt compelled to record.[8] Later that year, she relocated from Fayetteville to Los Angeles after being contacted by EQT Recordings[8] and performed a virtual concert opening for Latto as part of Sprite's Live from the Label series.[3][9] In 2022, she featured on the Curtis Waters song "Riot".[10][11]

Chlothegod's debut single through EQT, "Camille", was released in February 2023.[12][13] In October, she released her third EP, Nearly Straight,[14][15] which she supported with a North American tour supporting Amindi.[16][17] In January 2024, she opened for Baby Tate at The Echo in Los Angeles.[18] In July, she made her debut festival appearance performing at the Broccoli City Festival in Washington, D.C.,[2] and performed at ColorsxStudios' inaugural Tones Of event at the Knockdown Center in Queens, New York City in October.[19] In February 2025, Chlothegod released her fourth EP, I Feel Different Every Day.[20] A deluxe edition of the EP with four additional tracks was released on April 14, 2025.[20] Chlothegod embarked on her debut headline tour across the United States for eight weeks in support of the EP and supported Orion Sun across several dates in May 2025.[21] In September, she performed at Aminé's Best Day Ever Festival in Troutdale, Oregon.[22]

Artistry

Chlothegod's musical style has been described as blending various musical styles and influences,[6][23] and considered hard to categorize.[24] Growing up, she listened to artists including Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Jill Scott and India Arie,[6] as well as alternative artists that her dad liked,[15] such as G. Love & Special Sauce, No Doubt, Gorillaz, and Yellowcard.[6] Complex's Olive Soki-Kavwahirehi described Nearly Straight as blending neo soul and alternative rock,[14] whilst Chris Sanley of KEXP-FM described I Feel Different Every Day as combining influences of "guitar-driven pop", R&B, hip-hop, and punk rock.[25]

Personal life

Chlothegod is queer.[11][21]
