Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, known professionally as Halsey, is an American singer, songwriter, and pop culture icon whose emotive and distinctive music has captured a worldwide audience. Halsey was born on September 29, 1994, in Edison, New Jersey, and began her ascent into the music industry by posting covers on social media platforms before gaining wider recognition with her debut EP, "Room 93," in 2014. Her raw lyrics and unique voice quickly resonated with fans, leading to her breakthrough album, "Badlands," in 2015. Since then, Halsey has continually evolved as an artist, with her narrative-driven albums and powerful, genre-blending sound.

One of Halsey’s remarkable talents is her ability to create concept albums that tell a story, like her sophomore release, "Hopeless Fountain Kingdom," which delves into a dystopian universe inspired by Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet." In recent years, Halsey has ventured into more experimental terrains, reflected in their critically acclaimed album "If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power" (2021), produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, which explores themes of womanhood, sexuality, and autonomy. In addition to music, Halsey has established themselves as a social activist and a voice for marginalized communities. Their recent releases, such as "So Good" and collaborations with other high-profile artists—evidenced by tracks like "Stay With Me" with Justin Timberlake and Pharrell, and "Lilith" with SUGA of BTS, underscore their broad appeal and continual relevance in the contemporary music landscape. Whether it’s through raw, stripped-back releases or grand, thematic projects, Halsey's authenticity and artistry continue to dominate and push the boundaries of pop music.
