How did Halsey become famous?

Halsey was born in New Jersey in 1994. At birth, she was given the name Ashley Nicolette Frangipane. She was raised with two younger brothers, developing an interest in music when she was a young girl. By the time she was 14 years old, she could play multiple instruments, including the viola, acoustic guitar, cello, and violin. Halsey started writing music when she was 17, posting her tunes to platforms such as YouTube and Tumblr.

In 2014, the young girl started connecting with music industry executives, and a short time later, she was signed to her first label under the stage name Halsey. That same year, Halsey toured with The Kooks, earning fans of all ages and receiving acclaim for her distinct, indie-sounding singing voice. Halsey’s debut album, Badlands, was released in the summer of 2015, spawning several hit singles, including “New Americana,” “Colors,” and “Castle.” In short order, Halsey became one of the hottest names in pop music. 

Halsey is a unique musical artist

Over the next several years following the release of the album Badlands, Halsey continued to write and record at a quick pace. She released her second album, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, in 2017, and received critical acclaim for her versatility and ability to write artistic songs as well as more “radio-friendly” releases. 

Throughout 2017 and 2018, Halsey collaborated with several major music stars and started to make the rounds on television shows and late-night programs. She even visited Saturday Night Live as a musical guest in January 2018. Through it all, she managed to stay relentlessly true to herself and her vision, refusing to change her appearance or her style in order to better fit the pop-star mold. In spite of her big sound and powerful voice, the artist herself is a very petite person and reportedly stands at only 5’4″, according to IMDb.

Halsey has made a practice of being open with her fan base regarding her mental and physical health issues. In 2016, the singer made headlines when she revealed that she had been diagnosed with endometriosis, which caused her to suffer from often-debilitating stomach pain. That same year, she went through a miscarriage, which she admitted was devastating, stating that “I want to be a mom more than I want to be a pop star. More than I want to be anything in the world,” according to Yahoo!.

Fortunately, there was a light at the end of the tunnel for Halsey. In late January 2021, she took to Instagram to reveal that she and her boyfriend Alev Aydin, are expecting their first child together. While Halsey has not yet revealed when her exact due date is, or any other specific details about her pregnancy, there’s no doubt that her fans around the world are overjoyed for her and her screenwriter boyfriend.
