In 2023, she performed 100 hours of solo drumming over 10 consecutive days at the MONA FOMA festival in Tasmania. To date, Chloe has released four solo drum albums, which have received media praise in the UK, France, and the United States. In 2025, Chloe was invited and sponsored by Kou Records to record her fifth solo album in New York.
She was also a soloist in Jeremy Rose’s APRA Art Music Award-winning work Disruption! The Voice of Drums, which featured at the Sydney Festival (2021) and Melbourne International Jazz Festival (2022). Having completed a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz Performance followed by a Masters thesis in solo drum set performance, Chloe has been a passionate and beloved lecturer at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in the Drum Set faculty since 2021.
Chloe describes her drumming as: “a propulsive quality in drumming performance characterised by a high level of intensity and precise execution of the musical details afforded by physical agility”.
