Chloe Star Gets Personal With Wasted Youth Video

by | Apr 26, 2024

Rising alt-pop artist Chloe Star has revealed the music video for her new single, Wasted Youth. Bold, evocative, openly queer, and a fierce advocate for female empowerment, Star is the definition of a modern day rockstar. Her music is equally defiant, shamelessly blending elements of pop, rock, and punk into a catchy sound that is wholly her own.

The music video for Wasted Youth, was executive produced by Chloe Star and 68 Charles Productions, produced by Jake Carter, and directed by Alicia Becker. Based on the singer’s real life experience at a teen treatment program, the video paints a heart-wrenching, complicated, and powerful picture of the ‘troubled teen industry.’ “The music video is a raw look at the what happened to me when I was 16 years old,” Star explains. “I’m so excited to share my story with the world and I hope it can bring awareness to the ‘troubled teen industry’ by showing the residual trauma I experience. I am so grateful that I am still here to be able to share my story.”

Chloe Star is a Persian and Indigenous singer, songwriter, visual artist, and tribal advocate. Growing up she split her time between Los Angeles and her family’s reservation in San Bernardino. With a childhood that was chaotic and often unstable, she found solace in journaling and writing poetry. She taught herself to play piano and guitar and soon started transforming her prose into lyrics.

After spending a few years finding and cultivating her sound, Star made her official debut in 2023. Quickly garnering a dedicated online fanbase, Chloe Star is undoubtedly an artist on the rise.

Luna Bay Shine Bright In Support Slot Return To The Garage

Support slots can be thankless. The room’s still filling, the pints are still being poured, and the headliner’s name looms large on the bill. So it’s not every day a support act can hold a crowd’s attention from the opening note — but Luna Bay aren’t just any opening act. On 5th June 2025, the London-based trio returned to The Garage, a venue they last headlined just last October, to open for Welsh rockers Himalayas. This time, the billing was lower, but the energy and purpose were just as palpable.
