Devoted mum, SES member and chart topping musician By NICK SINIS
A CLOSE friend once told Chloe Jade “you’ll never need a psychologist as long as you’ve got music in your life”, which she believes rings so true in her case. The talented Wangaratta singer/songwriter and mother of one began her music career amid a year of challenges caused by the COVID pandemic, but has since achieved a chart topping single through Alburybased radio station Atomic Music. The music platform supports independent and rural artists throughout Australia by helping them gain exposure through their FM radio channel or via streaming. The singer’s life has always been surrounded by music since and she grew up listening to the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Cat Stevens. “I had such a big interest in music, I was always singing at my dressing table and making improvised instruments,” she said. “It wasn’t until I was much older I got my proper start when I was 15 and I was able to buy a violin. “That’s when things really took off for me, I studied classical and became involved in different ensembles. “I got a guitar as well and that’s when I really started writing songs.”
