About Chloe Alison Escott
Chloe Alison Escott is an Australian singer-songwriter and comedian from Hobart, Tasmania. She began her career in comedy and performed at the Raw Comedy national final in 2010. She became widely known as the frontwoman of the band The Native Cats, best known for the 2018 album John Sharp Toro, during whose live shows she often performs using only synthesiser presets on a Nintendo DS. In early 2020 she released the solo album Stars Under Contract, featuring the singles "I Know the Soul by Its Presence in Others" and "Back Behind the Eyes Again". In a positive review, NME referred to her as a polymath whose work spans poetry, spoken word and experimental comedy. Escott is a transgender woman, having come out in 2015, and her transition has inspired much of her work.
