Ski, Chloe and Halle Bailey are a talented trio.
Halle and Chloe made a name for themselves as tweens when they began posting videos of themselves singing covers online. While they were in front of the camera, Ski (pronounced “sky”) was filming.
The first song they ever covered was Beyoncé’s “Best Thing I Never Had” in 2011. "We burned [the song] on a CD, put it in our stereo, and our older sister was behind the tripod,” Chloe recalled to PEOPLE. “She would press 'play' with her toe as she was paying attention to the camera."
In 2023, the Bailey family grew by one when Halle welcomed her first child with boyfriend DDG.
“[We're] on cloud nine," Chloe told PEOPLE following the arrival of her nephew, Halo.
Here’s everything to know about the Bailey family — sisters Halle, Chloe and Ski — from their childhoods to their careers as adults.
They grew up in the South
Courtney and Doug Bailey welcomed Chloe and Halle in Atlanta, and the sisters grew up in nearby Mableton, Georgia. In addition to their older sister, Ski, they have a younger brother named Branson.
At the age of 3, Chloe landed her first acting role in The Fighting Temptations (2003) as the younger version of Beyoncé’s character. It turned out to be the beginning of her career as she later recalled to PEOPLE how she and Halle would demonstrate their musical talent growing up.
"We'd be performing at clubs in our church dresses in Atlanta, and then we'd bust out singing for producers outside of hotels," she said in March 2023.
Chloe and Halle moved to Los Angeles in their early teens as their careers took off. The two started posting covers to YouTube when Chloe was 13 and Halle was 11, and they quickly gained attention. Bringing things full circle, Beyoncé signed the sisters to Parkwood Entertainment when they were 18 and 16.
But while Chloe and Halle are Georgia natives, Ski considers Charleston, South Carolina, home and lives there today.
“Charleston is home. I was born here,” Ski said in a May 2023 video interview with Togethxr. “I did bounce around to New York and Atlanta, but Charleston has always been home.”
Chloe and Halle are Grammy-nominated singers
Chloe and Halle came to fame as a duo, Chloe x Halle. Since signing with Parkwood Entertainment in 2015, the sisters' careers soared with the release of their EP Sugar Symphony in 2016 and mixtape The Two of Us in 2017.
Chloe x Halle's debut album, The Kids Are Alright, followed in 2018 and earned them two Grammy nominations for best new artist and best urban contemporary album. Their next album. Ungodly Hour, released in 2020, snagged them three additional Grammy nominations, including best R&B song for "Do It."
Now that they are exploring their individual acting and solo music careers, the duo continue to support each other amid comparisons. During a 2023 interview on the Apple Music 1 show 777 Radio, Chloe spoke out about the remarks, which she previously called "shallow."
“I think out of everything, that's the thing that gets under my skin the most when people are comparing us because we are best friends, we're sisters," she said. "Sometimes we forget that we're not twins and it's like, don't mess with my blood. Don't mess with her."
