Ashley Nicolette Frangipane (/ˌfrændʒɪˈpɑːni/;[1] born September 29, 1994), known professionally as Halsey (IPA: /ˈhɔːlzi/, /ˈhɑːlzi/),[2] is an American singer and songwriter. Gaining attention from self-released music on social media platforms, she[a] was signed by Astralwerks in 2014 and released her debut EP, Room 93, later that year.

Halsey released her debut studio album, Badlands, in 2015. It was certified Double Platinum by the RIAA, as were two of its tracks: "Colors" and "Gasoline". In 2016, Halsey was featured on the Chainsmokers' single "Closer", which topped the charts in over ten countries. Her second studio album, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom (2017), consisted of more "radio-friendly" music than her previous releases; its singles "Now or Never" and "Bad at Love" reached the top twenty of the Billboard Hot 100, with the former peaking in the top five. Halsey's third studio album, Manic (2020), became her best selling album worldwide, while its lead single, "Without Me", became her most successful single as a lead artist. A fourth studio album, If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power, produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, is scheduled for release on August 27, 2021.

In 2020, Billboard reported that Halsey has sold over one million albums and been streamed over six billion times in the United States.[3][4] She is noted for her distinctive singing voice.[5] Her awards and nominations include four Billboard Music Awards, one American Music Award, one GLAAD Media Award, an MTV Video Music Award, two Grammy Awards, and being named Songwriter of the year by BMI Film & TV Awards in 2021. She was also included on Time magazine's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2020.[6] Aside from music, she has been involved in suicide prevention awareness, sexual assault victim advocacy, and racial justice protests.[7]

Early life and education

Ashley Nicolette Frangipane was born on September 29, 1994, in Edison, New Jersey.[8] Her parents dropped out of college after her mother discovered that she was pregnant with her.[9] Her mother, Nicole, works as an emergency medical technician,[10] and her father, Chris, manages a car dealership.[11][12] Nicole is of Italian and Hungarian descent, while Chris is of African-American and some Irish ancestry.[13][14] Frangipane has two younger brothers, Sevian and Dante.[9] She played the violin, viola, and cello until moving on to the acoustic guitar when she was 14 years old.[15] She grew up listening to Alanis Morissette, Justin Bieber, and Brand New.[16][17]

Throughout her childhood, Frangipane's family moved frequently, as her parents worked many jobs. By the time she reached her teen years, she had enrolled in six schools.[18] In high school, she endured bullying by other students,[12][19][20] and at 17 she attempted suicide, which led to a 17-day hospitalization. Following this, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder; her mother also struggles with the affliction.[21][22] Frangipane began using recreational drugs soon after, saying her bipolar disorder caused her to become an "unconventional child".[18] Also, when she was 17, she became romantically involved with a man who was 24 and resided on Halsey Street in Brooklyn. She has said, "That's where I first start[ed] writing music and where I started to feel like I was a part of something bigger than my town in middle of nowhere New Jersey. Halsey is kind of like a manifestation of all the exaggerated parts of me, so it's like an alter ego."[23] In 2012, Frangipane graduated from Warren Hills Regional High School in Washington, New Jersey.[24]

After graduating, she enrolled in the Rhode Island School of Design; however, she withdrew due to financial hardship and attended community college instead.[9] She eventually dropped out of community college and was ejected from her home, saying, "They just didn't agree with a lot of things about me". Soon after, she lived in a basement in lower Manhattan with a group of "degenerate stoners", whom she knew through her then-boyfriend.[25] When she was not living there, she occasionally lived in one of New York's many homeless shelters, and she considered prostitution as a way to make money.[26][27] When describing this period of her life, Frangipane has said, "I remember one time I had $9 in my bank account, and bought a four-pack of Red Bull and used it to stay up overnight over the course of two or three days, because it was less dangerous to not sleep than it was to sleep somewhere random and maybe get raped or kidnapped." She would occasionally stay with her maternal grandmother.[9]

Career

2012–2014: Career beginnings

Frangipane started writing music when she was 17, and in 2012, she began posting videos to social media sites such as YouTube and Kik, and in particular Tumblr, under the username se7enteenblack.[28] She became known for a parody of Taylor Swift's song "I Knew You Were Trouble", inspired by Swift's relationship with Harry Styles. She then wrote a follow-up song about their relationship, which was posted online in early 2013.[29][30] In early 2014, Frangipane went to a party and met a "music guy" who asked her to collaborate on a song with him because he liked her voice. The result, a song about her ex-boyfriend, titled "Ghost", was posted by Frangipane on SoundCloud several weeks after it was recorded. Within hours, the song gained online popularity and she was subsequently contacted by several record labels, with the song eventually charting and going on radio. She signed with Astralwerks, feeling that they gave her more creative freedom than other labels that contacted her.[9]

Following this, Frangipane played numerous acoustic shows in different cities under several stage names.[31] She chose Halsey as her permanent stage name because it is an anagram of her first name and is also a reference to the Halsey Street station of the New York City Subway in Brooklyn,[b] a place where she spent a lot of time as a teenager.[32] She also stated Halsey was the most popular name she used.[33] Having written poems for years, Halsey began writing more serious songs as a way to promote them. Music became her "confessional approach" and a form of therapy after the difficult life she had endured.[9]

2014–2016: Badlands and breakthrough

Halsey began touring with The Kooks in August 2014 and performed various original songs.[34] She released her debut extended play, Room 93, on October 27, 2014.[35] The EP charted in the lower regions of the US Billboard 200 and at number three on the Top Heatseekers chart.[36] She then began work on her debut studio album and performed songs from it at South by Southwest in 2015, where she was the most tweeted-about performer of the night.[37] She embarked on a co-headlining tour with Young Rising Sons in March, and in June, she became the opening act for Imagine Dragons during the North American leg of their Smoke + Mirrors Tour (2015).[38]

Halsey's debut studio album, Badlands, was released on August 28, 2015. She described Badlands as a concept album about a dystopian future society known as "The Badlands", which was a metaphor for her mental state at the time, stating that each song meant something different to her.[39][40] Halsey wrote all of the songs on the album when she was 19, while production was handled by a number of producers, including then-boyfriend, Norwegian producer Lido.[41] The album was described by Halsey as not having a "proper radio hit".[26] It received positive reviews from music critics,[42][43] with Joe Levy of Rolling Stone citing Halsey as a "new Tumblr popstar with a knack for sticky imagery".[44] Badlands debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the US, selling 115,000 copies in its first week, of which 97,000 were pure album sales.[45] The album found success in several other countries, including Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, where the album debuted in the top three.[46][47][48] It was further promoted by Halsey's Badlands Tour (2015–16), and her spot as the opening act for select dates of The Weeknd's The Madness Fall Tour (2015).[49]

Badlands was certified two-times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for U.S. sales of 2,000,000 units.[50] Four singles were released from the album: "Ghost", "New Americana", "Colors", and "Castle", all of which were certified Platinum in the US.[51] The latter three singles achieved minor commercial success: "New Americana" reached number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100,[52] "Castle" was rerecorded for the soundtrack of the 2016 film The Huntsman: Winter's War.[53] "Gasoline" was not released as a single and was only included on the deluxe version of Badlands, but became one of the album's most popular tracks and was certified Platinum in the US.[51]

Halsey performing at The GRAMMY Museum in 2016

Halsey was featured on the song "The Feeling" by Justin Bieber for his fourth studio album, Purpose (2015).[54][55] The song was not officially released as a single, though it entered the top forty of the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified Gold in the US and Silver in the United Kingdom.[56] In February 2016, Halsey was one of four female performers to partner with MAC cosmetics for their Future Forward line; she released a lipstick named after herself.[57] The senior vice president and group creative director of the company, James Gager, said, "It feels like a great thing to be able to support artists who are breaking through but aren't necessarily at the top top, to push them forward."[58] In May 2016, Halsey released the song "Tokyo Narita (Freestyle)", produced by Lido.[59][60] The song was a standalone track that served as a promotional single for both her and Lido.[60] In July 2016, she collaborated with 26 other artists for the charity single "Hands", which was a tribute for the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting.[61][62]

On July 29, 2016, Halsey was featured as a vocalist on the Chainsmokers' single "Closer", a song she also cowrote.[63][64] The track achieved major commercial success: it topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 consecutive weeks, topped the charts of 12 other countries, sold more than 15 million units worldwide, and is one of the most streamed songs on Spotify.[65] The official lyric video for "Closer" was released on YouTube on July 29, 2016, and has since garnered over two billion views.[66] Billboard magazine noted Halsey's solo verse as a favorable part of the song, and the song earned her a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.[67][68]

2017–2018: Hopeless Fountain Kingdom

Halsey announced work on her second studio album prior to the release of Badlands, with progress on the record continuing throughout 2016 and 2017.[69] In January 2017, she released the single "Not Afraid Anymore"; it appears on the soundtrack of the film Fifty Shades Darker (2017).[70] "Now or Never" was released on April 4 as the lead single from her second studio album.[71] The song debuted at number 52 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and later peaked at number 17. It was certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA.[72] "Now or Never" also reached the top 20 of Australia and Malaysia, and sold 500,000 units outside of the US.[73][74] Two promotional singles were also made available prior to the release of the album: "Eyes Closed" and "Strangers"'.[75]

The record, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, finally came out on June 2.[76] It consisted of more "radio friendly" songs in comparison to her previous work, which she attributed to her desire to prove she was "more than capable" of creating "radio-ready" music.[77] Much like her debut, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom is a concept album that revolves around a pair of lovers in a tale based on Romeo and Juliet; the project was inspired by her breakup with Lido.[78] The album also focuses on Halsey's bisexuality and on bisexual characters.[79][80][81] Hopeless Fountain Kingdom debuted atop the Billboard 200 and the Canadian Albums Chart. First-week sales in the US were of 106,000 units, with 76,000 being pure album sales. Similar to her debut, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom was certified Platinum by the RIAA.[82] Due to its rise to number one, Halsey became the first woman to achieve a number one album in the US in 2017.[83] To promote the record, Halsey embarked on the Hopeless Fountain Kingdom World Tour, which began on September 29, 2017, her twenty-third birthday.[84] The artist also performed surprise DJ sets at Emo Nite in Los Angeles in 2017.[85] The second single from Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, "Bad at Love", was released on August 22. The song peaked at number five in the US, which made it her highest peak as a lead artist at the time.[86] It was certified 4x Platinum by the RIAA, and sold more than 300,000 records outside the US.[87][88][89] In December, Halsey's collaboration with then-boyfriend G-Eazy, "Him & I", was released, and later peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100[90] and achieved a 2x Platinum certification by the RIAA in the US.[91] The song also reached the top ten of 13 other countries' charts.[92] Halsey also collaborated with the band Thirty Seconds to Mars on the song "Love Is Madness", from their 2018 album America.[93]

On January 13, 2018, Halsey was featured as a musical guest on the American television variety show Saturday Night Live, where she performed "Bad at Love" and "Him & I", with G-Eazy.[94] On March 15, she released "Alone", together with a new version featuring American rapper Big Sean and British rapper Stefflon Don. It was released as the third and final single from Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, and a music video came out in April.[95] "Alone" was certified Platinum by the RIAA and reached number one on Billboard's Dance Club chart, though it only peaked at number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100.[87][96] Halsey sang with Khalid on Benny Blanco's debut single "Eastside", which was released on July 12, along with a music video discussing various parts of Halsey's life.[97][98] The song peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts of five other countries.[99] It was certified 2x Platinum in the US, and sold over one million units outside the country.[100] Also in the same year, she appeared in two films: she voiced Wonder Woman in Teen Titans Go!

On October 4, 2018, Halsey released a single titled "Without Me", her first through Capitol Records.[105][106] She stated that the song was very personal to her.[107][108] On October 29, the official music video for "Without Me" was released, featuring a "G-Eazy lookalike", following their second breakup.[109][110] This song went on to become Halsey's most successful single as a lead artist to date, becoming her first solo number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. It topped the chart for two non-consecutive weeks and remained in the top five for 22 weeks.[111] It also reached the top three of the UK, Malaysia, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Ireland. The song has been certified 3x Platinum in the US, Platinum in the UK, and 5x Platinum in Australia and Canada.[112] Due to "Without Me" reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Halsey became the eighth woman to achieve multiple number ones on the chart during the 2010s.[113]

Artistry

Influences

During Halsey's childhood, her mother listened to The Cure, Alanis Morissette, and Nirvana, while her father listened to The Notorious B.I.G., Slick Rick, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and 2Pac. She has said that their musical tastes have been a great influence on her.[32] She has called Panic! at the Disco the "band that changed [her] fucking life"[136] and credits Lady Gaga for giving her the strength to be herself.[137] She has also mentioned a Long Island rock band, Brand New, as both an influence and a favorite of hers, once changing her biography on Instagram to "The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me", a reference to their third album.[138] Halsey has cited Taylor Swift as a huge reason why she always insists on writing her own music.[139] Her other influences include Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix,[140] Marilyn Manson, Beck,[141] Kanye West,[142] Amy Winehouse,[143] The Weeknd,[144] Alex Turner,[145][146] Bright Eyes,[147] and the Wonder Years.[148]

Halsey credits Dolores O'Riordan as her major vocal influence, saying "Dolores O’Riordan was a massive influence for me. I grew up listening to The Cranberries with my mother and learned so much about having an unconventional singing voice. Dolores taught me how to use my voice in a manner that was emotive, even if I wasn’t classically skilled... Her voice was beautiful to me. And she was a fierce badass trailblazing woman in the rock landscape... Always an inspiration to me...".[149]

The artist has said "There's plenty of musicians that I love and respect, but I think that I'm the most inspired by cinema."[150] Filmmakers who have influenced her include Quentin Tarantino, Harmony Korine, and Larry Clark.[150]

Music style and themes

Halsey is noted for her distinctive "indie" style of singing,[151][152][153] which has garnered controversial feedback.[154][155][156] She sings with an accent different from her speaking voice.[157] She is known as a pop,[158][159][160] electropop,[159][161][162][163] synth-pop,[164][165] art pop,[162] alternative pop,[163][166] R&B,[158] and indie pop artist.[167] The New York Times' Jon Caramanica noted, "Halsey arrived as part of a slew of female pop rebels who emerged in the wake of Lorde's early-2010s recalibration of the genre's operating hierarchies."[168] When speaking of Badlands, Billboard stated, "Halsey's larger-than-life vision combines the synthy darkness of Lorde, the neon-pop chutzpah of Miley Cyrus and the flickering film noir of Lana Del Rey."[169]

Halsey's music focuses on her personal experiences and telling a story.[170][171] She writes about relationships with other women in her music as a way of solidifying her bisexuality.[172]

Videos and stage

The biggest influence on her live performances is Adam Lazzara, the frontman of Taking Back Sunday,[173] as she said, "One of the most inspiring things I've ever seen is watching [Taking Back Sunday] live and watching Adam use that microphone as a prop and I thought yep, I'm gonna do that."[147]

Public image

Halsey at the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards

In her early career, Halsey drew criticism for allegedly calling herself "tri-bi" in an interview, due to her being biracial, bipolar, and bisexual. In a 2016 interview with Rolling Stone, she criticized the label as a trivializing way to describe her.[174] Halsey became most known for her signature dyed blue hair in her early career.[175] She sparked controversy in 2016 after several fan interactions, some involving the artist kissing underage fans.[176]

In June 2017, Halsey received backlash for collaborating with Quavo, an artist who has made homophobic remarks. She stated she has never spoken to Quavo, and continued to say that she would not put "a lot of people" in her songs. She criticized Iggy Azalea for her "complete disregard for black culture".[177] She also criticized Demi Lovato for, in Halsey's view, treating bisexuality as taboo in the song "Cool for the Summer".[178]

Halsey has described herself as an "in-between role model" and an "inconvenient woman", due to her music and style.[179][180] She stated in 2017 that although she passes as white, she is a black woman and proud of her heritage.[181][182][183][184] She was included on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list, and appeared on the cover of magazines such as Billboard, Paper, and Playboy.[185] She has appeared in advertisements for Jeep, Beats Electronics, and ModCloth.[186][187][188] At other times, she has been described as a feminist icon.[189] She has also been called the "voice of her generation".[190] Her relationship with G-Eazy gathered significant media attention due to rumors of drug use, arrest, cheating, and G-Eazy's feuds with other artists.[191][192]

While much of her music is labeled as pop,[193] Halsey has long identified as an alternative artist, stating she can do pop collaborations without being considered a pop artist, similar to Kendrick Lamar. She states she is only classified as pop because she is a woman.[194] In 2019, she called herself "the anti-popstar" and stated she does not care how people identify her music, as long as it connects with them.[195]

Activism

During the 2016 presidential election, Halsey was an avid supporter of Bernie Sanders and urged fans to vote for him.[196] In July 2016, she and 26 other artists were featured on the charity single "Hands", which was a tribute to the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting.[61][62] During the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, Halsey further endorsed Sanders on March 11, 2020, urging fans to vote for him via social media and a promotional video collaborating with the Sanders campaign.[197]

As a result of her own attempted suicide at age 17,[9][198] Halsey took part in the mental health and suicide prevention awareness campaign called "I'm Listening", which was hosted by radio network Entercom and broadcast live on September 10, 2017.[199]

Halsey identifies as a feminist.[189] Following the 2017 Women's March, she sent out a tweet that promised to donate one dollar to Planned Parenthood for every retweet it received.[200] She ended up donating $100,000 to the organization.[200] Halsey delivered a speech to more than 200,000 protesters at the 2018 Women's March.[201][202] Instead of a traditional speech, she performed a five-minute poem titled "A Story Like Mine", in which she told personal stories of sexual assault and violence throughout her life.[201] Her personal narrative included accompanying her best friend to Planned Parenthood after she had been raped, her personal account of sexual assault by neighbors and boyfriends, and women sexually assaulted by Olympic doctor Larry Nassar.[203] She completed her speech by requesting all—"Black, Asian, poor, wealthy, trans, cis, Muslim, Christian"—sexual assault victims to listen and support each other.[203] AJ Willingham of CNN opined in a headline that "Halsey's Women's March speech moved people around the world."[204] In March 2018, Halsey protested alongside numerous other celebrities at March for Our Lives in Washington, D.C.[205] In May 2018, she criticized Ivanka Trump over Twitter, complaining that she was too relaxed while her father, then-president Donald Trump, hurt immigrant children.[206]

In November 2018, Halsey performed at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show alongside numerous other artists,[207] but in December she criticised the company for its lack of inclusion of transgender models in its various shows, stating, "as a member of the LGBT+ community, I have no tolerance for a lack of inclusivity. Especially not motivated by stereotype."[208][209] Later that month, she performed her hit song "Without Me" on The Voice and was criticized for "sensually" dancing with backup dancer Jade Chynoweth. Many perceived the backlash as homophobic, including Halsey herself who defended the performance.[210][211] In a January 2019 interview with Glamour, she advocated for a stronger presence of women in music.[212] In April 2019, she and 29 other musical acts were featured on the charity single "Earth", which raises climate change awareness.[118] In May 2020, Halsey, alongside Yungblud, joined protests in Los Angeles for racial justice in the wake of the murder of George Floyd.[7]

In June 2020, she launched The Black Creators Fund, founded to provide financial support, resources, and a platform to black creators.[213]

Personal life

Relationships

Halsey is openly bisexual.[172] Prior to her music career, she dated a woman.[214] In March 2021, Halsey announced that she uses "she/they" pronouns.[215] From 2015 to 2016, she dated Norwegian producer Lido, who helped produce Badlands and inspired Hopeless Fountain Kingdom.[216]

In 2017, Halsey began dating rapper G-Eazy. They had met at a party that year and although they pursued different music, they found common ground for their collaboration "Him & I", which discussed their love and lifestyle.[217] The pair broke up in July 2018; their relationship was on and off again until ending that September.[218] She later confirmed that her 2018 song "Without Me" is partially about this relationship.[219]

Halsey began dating English alternative rock musician Yungblud in November 2018.[220][221] They met at a bar in Los Angeles and ended up collaborating on the song "11 Minutes",[222][223] which led to rumors of a possible romantic relationship. Halsey first confirmed that they were seeing each other in an interview with Capital FM in March 2019.[224][225][226] They broke up in September 2019.[227]

Halsey began dating actor Evan Peters in September 2019.[228][229] In early 2020, she liked a tweet confirming they had broken up.[230][231]

In January 2021, Halsey announced that she was pregnant with her first child with her partner, screenwriter Alev Aydin.[232][233] On July 19, she confirmed that she had given birth five days prior on July 14.[234][235]

Health

Since the beginning of her career, Halsey has been open about her personal health. Discussing her career in 2015, she stated, "I'm just this fucked-up stoner kid who made it."[9]

Halsey has bipolar disorder. She was diagnosed with the mental disorder at age seventeen and said that her mother also has it.[236] At that age, she attempted suicide, which is what led to her diagnosis and a seventeen-day admission to a psychiatric hospital.[237][9] Not long after her suicide attempt, she began having success in the music industry. She said that singing and performing helped her manage the symptoms she experiences.[238] Despite the struggles she has faced as a result of this mood disorder, the artist has stated that she embraces being bipolar because it makes her "really empathetic".[236]

Halsey was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2016 and went public with it on Twitter.[239][240] She attributes a miscarriage she suffered in 2015 to her endometriosis, originally stating in 2016 that it was due to her hectic touring schedule.[241][237][242] Only hours after she realized she was having a miscarriage, she went on stage to perform during a tour because she did not want to hurt her career by missing a performance.[243] She chronicled her struggles with endometriosis on the talk show The Doctors in April 2018, where she revealed she was going to freeze her eggs.[241]

Also in 2018, Halsey spoke openly about her endometriosis and the pain it causes at the Blossom Ball, which is run by the Endometriosis Foundation of America.[244] She said at the event, "Sometimes I'm bloated, I'm on an IV, I'm sick, I'm on medicine, and I'm backstage, terrified that I'm going to bleed through my clothes in the middle of my show."[244] She told the event's attendees that she wanted to open up about her disease because the media often portrays her as having perfect physical health despite her health struggles.[244] In January 2017, she underwent surgery in an attempt to lessen the pain caused by the condition.[245] She has not disclosed what type of surgery she underwent.[237]

Halsey is gluten intolerant.[246] On August 14, 2019, Halsey revealed on Twitter that she had quit smoking cigarettes after ten years.[247]
