Born as Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, this rising artist was born in New Jersey on September 22, 1994. She majored in music writing at community college, and her songs just recently started to become popular. Having collaborations with Justin Bieber, Tyler Posey as a star in her music video “Colors,” and one of her most famous songs, “Castle,” being featured in the recent “The Huntsman: Winter’s War” movie, it's safe to say Halsey had it easy when it came to taking on fame. She just finished her first headlining tour this fall, and although there are no new tours scheduled yet, (we are most likely waiting on an album first,) I am certain that her next shows will bring her even more fame and hopefully, some more sick collaborations.

In the meantime, Halsey can be found performing at various awards shows with "The Chainsmokers," who she sings the song "Closer" with. And while this head-shaven 22 year old stands against sexism in her music, her main influence in writing is her insistence on being anything but cliché; her devotion to her music and her colorful personality are anything but. So, if you get a chance to see Halsey on her next tour, I'd say take it. Before you know it, she will be sold out in every country.
