Harmonizing Emotions, Uniting Sounds: Experience Chloe Mogg's Musical Kaleidoscope and Debut Album 'The Crazy One'

Delivering a colourful cocktail of musical influences, Worcestershire’s Chloe Mogg creates a spacious journey that will take you through all the emotions of music. A driving force in the West Midlands music scene wherever that’s in journalism or creating music, Chloe’s a singer-songwriter who aims to bring life and her vibrant colour to every project. Turning relationship breakups, childhood stories and identity crises into something positive, the past decade of Chloe’s life has accumulated into her debut album “The Crazy One”. Armed with mental health themes, discrimination towards disabilities and heartbreak, the album has one theme throughout and that’s growth. Engineered and mastered with the help of Alex Vine Ruiz (Swan Studios), the release primiarly features Ali Clinton (Conflict Choir, Bernie Marsden from Whitesnake, Uli Jon Roth), Jack Bowles (Thomas Atlas) & George Cook (Thomas Atlas). The album launch will be a night filled with the tracks that have shaped Chloe's life over the last few years and of course, the 11 track LP.

A big advocate in raising awareness for ‘invisible’ illnesses, Chloe was featured on BBC Radio 1’s Minute of Me & as a featured artist for BBC News online talking about discrimination to musician’s with disabilities. During the first lockdown in 2020, Chloe co-created The 7 Arts Still Exist, a platform where artists and musicians could share their talent online. The event went viral and received praise from BBC Radio 1 and beyond. Recognising her work, Chloe received the ‘Local Hero’ at the AIM Music Awards in 2021.

Joining Chloe on the night will be Ali Clinton (guitar) & Jack Bowles (drums) of Conflict Choir, and William Allman on bass duties.

Conflict Choir, a dynamic UK alternative rock powerhouse, guides listeners through ethereal soundscapes, heavy drops, and poignant social commentary woven with emotive riffs. Born amid the challenges of 2020's lockdowns, the band rose from the ashes to create "Strange Game," an album reflecting modern struggles. This work is unveiled gradually, track by track, revealing its self-recorded brilliance stemming from a dark Worcestershire garage. Helmed by Ali Clinton (Guitar/Vocals) and Jack Bowles (Drums), the duo draws from diverse influences like Aldous Huxley, Pink Floyd, and Devin Townsend. Their sonic masterpiece confronts technology, mental health, and societal distrust, immersing audiences in a cascade of dark textures. The album's production was led by Thomas Atlas, and the mix/mastering by Greg Chandler of the band Esoteric.
