Chloe Wang is a Chinese pop star. She is a Chinese-American, born in Chicago to Stephanie and Bennet Wang. Put a pin in dad's name. We're coming back to it in a minute.
She moved to China - at age 15 - to become a pop star. Quickly learning Mandarin, she released her debut single - "Uh Oh" - in both Mandarin.....
...and English.
It's a fun song, to be sure. There's not a lot of substance here - it's a light-hearted pop song. But it doesn't pretend to be anything more than that. And I have no problem with that - music is supposed to be fun.
Some of you in the United States are thinking.... "Hey, she looks familiar. And yet I'm not up on Chinese pop stars. Where have I seen her before?" Let me help you a little with that....
After she released a couple of singles in China, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Of course, Chloe WANG sounds way too Chinese to appeal to American audiences, so she took her father's first name as her last. Chloe Bennet. Which is how she was billed on "Nashville" and how she is billed on "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", where she plays Skye (or was that Daisy?).
And now you know.
