Who is Chloe Echo?
With a childhood fractured between the grand mountains of Queenstown, New Zealand and the misty Puget Sound of Olympia, Washington, Chloe embodies musical duality in every song she crafts. Playing with the juxtaposition of Grunge, Folk, and Electronica, she builds soundscapes that express both the tenderness and toughness of the human experience.
After moving to the US as an adolescent, Chloe O'Brien began playing the guitar and writing songs, immersing herself in the alt-rock scene of the Pacific Northwest before attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. With a focus on songwriting, she began releasing acoustic guitar-centric music as Chloe Jane from 2016-2018, and released her debut alt-rock album, "Magic & Honey" under the name Neia Jane in 2019. From 2019-2022 Chloe continued to release a string of singles as Neia Jane, amassing over 8 million listens across platforms and being described as an “ever-evolving creative mastermind.” Following the launch of Chloe Echo in 2024, she has steadily released singles that reflect her growth as an artist, combining all of her influences and past experiences into something singular.
Now based in Los Angeles, Chloe works as an independent artist, songwriter, record producer, and music educator with a focus on gender equity and lifting the voices of women and gender expansive people. She has collaborated with established artists such as Kimbra and Agnez Mo, and writes and produces music for up-and-comers like Nikki Hahn, Plunki, Jess Meilman, and Maggie Ryan. As an educator, Chloe teaches Songwriting for Berklee Online and does private coaching for voice, guitar, and music production.
