The recording and touring act Celtic Woman has been thrilling audiences with its special brand of Irish-influenced music for nearly 10 years.
Amazingly, Chloe Agnew, 23, has been with Celtic Woman since the very beginning when the women first performed together in 2004.
Born in 1989 in Dublin, Ireland, to parents who were accomplished musicians, Agnew got her big break at age 11 recording the song “This Holy Christmas Night” with David Downes, later co-founder and musical director of Celtic Woman, for a charity to aid the children of Afghanistan.
At 12 she was signed to a recording contract and made her first album, titled “Chloe.” Her second album, “Chloe: Walking in the Air” followed in 2004, and shortly after its release, she became a part of Celtic Woman.
What was meant to be a one-night concert performance by Celtic Woman has blossomed into a well-established career that includes several best-selling albums and PBS specials/DVDs, singing for three U.S. presidents, sold-out concerts around the globe, as well as a devoted following of fans who have helped the group earn Billboard Magazine’s World Music Artist of the Year award on seven occasions.
