Chloe Chavis, known professionally as Chlothegod, is an American singer-songwriter from Fayetteville, North Carolina.
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]
In February 2023, Chlothegod relaunched her career and released her debut single, "Camille". [12] In October, she released her third EP, Nearly Straight, [13] [14] which she supported with a North American tour supporting Amindi. [15] [16] In January 2024, she opened for Baby Tate at The Echo in Los Angeles. [17] 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. [18] In February 2025, Chlothegod released her fourth EP, I Feel Different Every Day, to critical acclaim. [19] A deluxe edition of the EP with four additional tracks was released on April 14, 2025. [19] 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. [20] In September, she performed at Aminé's Best Day Ever Festival in Troutdale, Oregon. [21]
Chlothegod's musical style has been described as blending various musical styles and influences, [6] [22] and considered hard to categorize. [23] 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, [14] 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, [13] 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.
