Early Life and Career Beginnings
Born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane on September 29, 1994, in Edison, New Jersey, Halsey’s early life was marked by frequent relocations due to her parents’ professions.

The album featured several hit singles, including “Ghost,” “Castle,” “Colors,” and “New Americana,” all of which achieved Platinum status.
A pivotal moment in Halsey’s career was her collaboration with The Chainsmokers on the song “Closer” in 2016.
