Chloe Alison Escott
Australian singer-songwriter and comedian
Chloe Alison Escott is an Australian singer-songwriter and comedian from Hobart, Tasmania. She began her career in comedy and performed at the Raw Comedy national final in 2010. She then became widely known as the frontwoman of the band The Native Cats, best known for the 2018 album John Sharp Toro. During the Native Cats' live shows, she often performs with nothing but synthesiser presets on a Nintendo DS.
In early 2020, she also released the solo album Stars Under Contract which featured the singles "I Know the Soul by Its Presence in Others" and "Back Behind the Eyes Again". In a positive review of Stars Under Contract, NME referred to her as a polymath, "her work spanning poetry, spoken word and experimental comedy".
Escott is a transgender woman, having come out in 2015. Her transition has inspired much of her work, including John Sharp Toro and the song "Stranger than Death".

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q130265318. VIAF identifies the subject as 308253710. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2018, 2020 and 2015.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
