About Halsey (singer) in brief
Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, known as Halsey, is an American singer, songwriter, and activist. She was signed by Astralwerks in 2014 and released her debut EP, Room 93, later that year. She has since earned a #1 album on the Billboard 200 with Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, as well as two #2 albums with Badlands and Manic. In total, she has sold over one million albums and has been streamed over six billion times in the United States. Her awards and nominations include four Billboard Music Awards, one American Music Award, one GLAAD Media Award, three Guinness World Records, an MTV Video Music Award and two Grammy Award nominations. She is included on Time’s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2020. She became known for a parody of Taylor Swift’s song of the same name, “I Knew You Were Trouble,” which she posted online in early 2013. In early 2014, she met a guy who asked her to collaborate on a song with him, and they wrote a follow-up song about their relationship, “Bad at Love” She has two younger brothers, Sevian and Dante, and grew up listening to Alanis Morissette, Justin Bieber, and Brand New. In high school, she endured bullying by other students, and at 17 she attempted suicide, which led to a 17-day hospitalization. At 17, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder; her mother also struggles with the affliction. In 2012, she graduated from Warren Hills Regional High School in Washington, New Jersey, and enrolled in the Rhode Island School of Design; however, she withdrew due to financial hardship and attended community college instead.
She eventually dropped out of community college and was ejected from her home, saying, “They just didn’t agree with a lot of things about me\”. Soon after, she lived in a basement in lower Manhattan with a group of “degenerate stoners’” whom she knew through her then-boyfriend. When she was not living there, she occasionally lived in one of New York’s many homeless shelters, and she considered prostitution as a way to make money. She would sometimes stay with her maternal grandmother and occasionally stay with a homeless man in New York City. She has said, ‘Halsey is kind of like a manifestation of all the exaggerated parts of me, so it’s like an alter ego.’ She would often stay with the homeless man because it was less dangerous to sleep somewhere than to not be raped or kidnapped. In 2013, she wrote a song about her relationship with Harry Styles, which was posted online and then posted it on Tumblr. She then met a man who was 24 and resided on HalseY Street in Brooklyn. In the early 2013, the two began a relationship, and then she wrote another song about Harry Styles and their relationship. In 2014, FrangIPane went to a party and met Harry Styles.
