Sisters Chloe Bailey, 13, and Halle Bailey, 11, recently chatted with EDGE Magazine about their love for music, their musical influences, working together and more.
Chloe on how she began singing:
“I would always sing around the house and I loved being in front of the camera and so it grew from there. Our parents are there for us every step of the way in everything from taking us to the studio or to auditions even teaching us song structure. They are being our stepping-stones and helping us to reach new heights.”Halle on her musical influences:
“Of course I love Beyonce and Michael Jackson but as far as my older musical influences I love Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. They’re great, great singers. I also really love Bruno Mars.”On their responsibilities as young artists:
“Our responsibility as young artists is to be role models to young girls out there because I feel like there’s not many positive influences for girls our age. Another thing is to simply bring real music back because it’s been pushed aside by electronics and party music. People need that real talent and singing ability. That’s what someone like Adele is doing because she has such a beautiful and pure voice—that’s what we should all be doing.”Chloe on balancing being sisters and working together:
“One of the best things about working with a family member is that you can be real open and honest without being scared of hurting someone’s feelings. You’ve known each other forever so you know how that person feels and operates. When you team up with someone you don’t know you have to build up trust with them and performing is all about trust. So it’s perfect to just be able to work with your sister.”
