Early life
Ashley Nicolette Frangipane was born in Edison, New Jersey. Her mother is of Italian and Hungarian descent, while her father is mostly African American with some distant Irish ancestry. She has two younger brothers.
Career
Halsey was signed by Astralwerks in 2014. She released her first EP, Room 93, later that year. In 2015, she released her album Badlands, which went to number two on the Billboard 200 chart. She released Hopeless Fountain Kingdom in 2017, which reached number one.[4]
Halsey was featured on the Chainsmokers' 2016 single "Closer", which entered at the top of the charts in several countries worldwide.[5] She released "Without Me" in October 2018[6] as the lead single from her studio album, Manic (2020). "Without Me" became her second US number one hit after "Closer".[7] Manic went to number two in the US.
In December 2020, she revealed the use of she/they pronouns in her Instagram bio.[8] She released a makeup line, About-Face, in January 2021.[9]
After 10 years experience in UMG, she departed the music business group and signed with Sony Music's Columbia Records on June 14, 2023.
Artistry
Halsey is a soprano with three-octave vocal range. Her voice is often described as “smoky” or “husky.” This is typically a quality found in lower-pitched voices. Additionally, her vocal range spans from about F3 to C5. However, this worth noting that her voice has a lot of versatility. She is able to sing both lower and higher pitched notes with relative ease.
Personal life
She has a son, Ender Ridley Aydin (born July 14, 2021) with her former boyfriend Alev Aydin, a Turkish-American filmmaker.[11][12] The two separated at some point. Halsey requested custody of their son so she could take him on tour but also wanted Aydin to have joint custody and visitation.[13]
She was previously dated rapper G-Eazy in 2017 to 2018.
She is currently dating Canadian actor Avan Jogia.
