Early life

Chloe Leanne Slater was born in 2003 and raised by a single mother in Bournemouth, England. [2] [3] Inspired by Taylor Swift, she started playing acoustic guitar at the age of 13, and then electric guitar. [2] Slater started gaining an interest in politics at 17 during the 2019 United Kingdom election campaign. [4] At age 18, she moved to Manchester to pursue a music degree, which she later dropped out of. [5]

Career

Slater released her debut single, "Sinking Feeling!", in 2023. She started promoting her music on TikTok, and the clips for her second single "24 Hours", a "scathing takedown of influencer culture," went viral on the platform. [6] Her debut extended play (EP), You Can't Put a Price on Fun, was issued in May 2024 via Stolen Juice, an imprint of AWAL. [4] She issued a follow-up, Love Me Please, in February 2025. [7]

Artistry

Some of Slater's most popular songs have been written in protest, inspired by Sam Fender and Declan McKenna's political music. [3] She occasionally uses satire in her lyrics. [3] The intention of her music is to engage young people in social and political issues, and to create a "stepping stone to [start] to think more about the world that we live in." [4] Her second EP explores themes of influencer culture, feminism, and social class. [8] Other musical acts Slater admires include Fontaines D.C., Wolf Alice, Arctic Monkeys and Bloc Party. [4] [5]
