Halsey's biography

She's been called the voice of a new generation: a unique phenomenon that blends pop culture glamor with street art rebellion. But Halsey insists she hasn't done anything outstanding yet – the match tattoo on her arm will only "light up" once she writes her defining song.

Childhood

The singer's real name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane. "Halsey" is an anagram of her real name. She created it at 14, and since then prefers everyone – even family and friends – call her by that name:
Halsey is something like an exaggerated manifestation of all my traits, my alter ego.
Halsey was born in the small town of Edison, New Jersey on September 29, 1994. She has Italian and African American heritage. She's the eldest of Chris and Nicole Frangipani's children. Halsey has two younger brothers Dante and Sevian. Her father ran a small car dealership while her mother worked at a local hospital. Fan legend claims Halsey was homeless after her parents kicked her out, forcing her to perform on Washington's streets. But the reality is quite different.

From early childhood, she was a music lover who played violin, adored Shakespeare's sonnets, and dreamed of becoming a singer. Her parents supported her completely, and when she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, they fought alongside her against the condition.

After high school graduation, Halsey headed to Warren for college. She was already posting covers of her favorite bands on YouTube and writing original songs. Her musical creativity drew from her parents' diverse tastes: her father's love of rap and her mother's passion for grunge and Brit-pop. This explains Halsey's unique sound – a fusion of seemingly incompatible pop music and raw teenage street culture.

Music career

In 2012, she auditioned for The X Factor but didn't make it through the selection process. Soon after, she wrote the song "Ghost," which launched her path to success.

She then met a young agent and created music for an advertising campaign, but didn't accept payment for her work. Instead, she asked to record her song at his studio as payment. The next day, "Ghost" was uploaded to SoundCloud, catching the attention of producers and landing her several offers from major record labels. After signing with Astralwerks, she released her debut EP.

Room 93 didn't top the charts, but critics praised it, and in 2015 she released her breakthrough album that brought her worldwide fame. Tracks from Badlands dominated the download charts. It sold around 100,000 copies in its first week. "Castle" was chosen for The Huntsman: Winter's War soundtrack. Singles "New Americana" and "Colors" climbed to the top of US and European charts.

In 2016, she received the Rising Star Award from Billboard Women in Music for her impact on the industry. Media outlets hailed Halsey as the voice of a new generation. Her songs captured universal feelings: love, loneliness, the pain of losing friends, and social issues.
Halsey released her next album in 2017. By then, she had toured globally and even performed in Russia, bringing Hopeless Fountain Kingdom tracks to Stadium Club.

2018 proved productive: she performed across Europe and launched a world tour.

Halsey joined the international anti-violence movement, participating in protest marches. Her powerful speech gained widespread media coverage, with fellow demonstrators including Mila Kunis and Eva Longoria.

Halsey's private life

The singer's first relationship didn't work out. She fell in love with her mother's fitness trainer. Halsey says she was devastated by the unrequited love, but within a year she could barely remember his name.

After their breakup, Halsey kept her personal life mostly private. Then in January 2021, Halsey announced her pregnancy. She revealed she'd been trying to have a baby for years, but endometriosis had caused three miscarriages. The father is screenwriter and actor Alev Aydin.

Halsey is involved in charity work. In 2016, she wrote the song "For Ruby" to support a young English girl battling a terminal illness. When the girl passed away, Halsey donated proceeds from several concerts to a children's hospital.

Her third studio album dropped in 2020. "Manic" features 16 tracks, including the acclaimed singles Without Me, Graveyard, and Clementine. Despite the global pandemic, Halsey launched a major tour supporting the album.
