New York (Top40 Charts/
Chloe Temtchine Official Website) - Childhood Visits to Hale House Helped Shape Singer's Sense of Compassion - 'Stand Tall' Video Captures Poverty in Her Family's Homeland, The Philippines
As a child growing up in New York City, singer Chloe Temtchine's parents took her to visit Harlem's Hale House on a regular basis. Six-year old Chloe brought clothes and toys to the sick children, spent time with them, and formed an early sense of compassion that continues today, with her involvement in Musicians On Call, Life Beat, Dewitt Nursing Home and elsewhere.
Her own family's continued presence in the projects of The Philippines opened Chloe's eyes even further to poverty and inequality, and to the need to help others. In her song 'Stand Tall' and its accompanying video, the singer chronicles the value of incremental change, and of not turning your back on someone who needs your help: 'Another day is gone, where did it go/Another chance to make a change' - 'When somebody needs you/To get through the day/Don't turn your back, close your eyes, and walk away.'
The video features footage of Chloe's recent trip to The Philippines, to help care for her godmother, who was recovering from a stroke. Chloe spent time in the projects, where her godmother lives, getting to know the children in her community, playing guitar for them and hearing their stories.

Chloe Temtchine's solo debut CD 'Between Day & Dream' will be released nationwide on September 15th. The album delivers a mix of pop, soul and R&B, with upbeat melodies that camouflage unrest within the lyrics. Chloe wrote all the songs, and plays guitar and piano/keyboards. She is fluent in English, French and Spanish, and her album includes 'Ilusion,' a bonus track sung in Spanish. The CD was co-produced by Temtchine and David Margolis, and mixed by Kevin Killen.
In other news, Chloe has written the first single "Que Locura" from Lisa Lisa's upcoming CD.
