Born in Charlotte, NC, Chloe is a second generation fiddle player and old-time musician. Having moved at a young age to North Georgia, she began studying with Georgia tune connoisseur Mick Kinney at 13. She subsequently spent her teenage years being mentored by renowned fiddle maker and tune collector Joe Thrift, while devoting her free time to a rigorous study of ballet and modern dance. She received a Public Performance Scholarship for Old Time & Appalachian Music at East Tennessee State University, where she attended their Bluegrass, Old Time and Country Music Studies program.

As a young adult Chloe travelled through the Southeastern US, studying with a huge number of master fiddle players of different styles. She honed her old-time playing under the tutelage of Rayna Gellert, Brad Leftwich, Bruce Molsky, Bobby Taylor, Ralph Blizard and Mike Bryant, while cutting her teeth in the bluegrass and country worlds with Bobby Hicks, Buddy Spicher and Matt Combs. In 2012 she was a finalist in the fiddle competition at the John Hartford Memorial Festival. In 2011 Chloe formed old-time group Locust Honey, releasing two full length records and touring extensively in the US and in Ireland and the UK. Currently, Chloe plays and tours with John R. Miller & The Engine Lights, and was featured on Tyler Childers' 2020 old time fiddle protest record Long Violent History.
