Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, known professionally as Halsey, is an American singer and songwriter. Gaining attention from self-released music on social media platforms, she 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 its tracks "Colors" and "Gasoline". In 2016, she was featured on the Chainsmokers' single "Closer", which topped the charts in over 10 countries. Her second studio album, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, consisted of more "radio-friendly" music than her previous releases; its singles "Now or Never" and "Bad at Love" reached the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100, with the former peaking in the top five. Halsey's third studio album, Manic, became her best selling album worldwide, while its lead single "Without Me" became her most successful single as a lead artist.
She has released famous tracks like as "Without Me" and "Bad at Love", and is better known by her stage name Halsey (an anagram of her first name). On the track "Closer", she teamed with The Chainsmokers, and on the single "Eastside", she partnered with Benny Blanco and Khalid.
