CHLOE’S STORY

Chloé Temtchine is an award-winning singer, songwriter, speaker, and creator of "Super Brave," a series spotlighting kids and adults facing life's most complex health challenges. After five years of misdiagnoses, Chloé was finally diagnosed in March 2013 with severe Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) and PVOD (Pulmonary Veno Occlusive Disease) and was given days to live.



Seven years later, on August 5, 2020, after suffering a cardiac arrest, being in a coma for four days, and on life support (ECMO) for almost a month, Chloé received a life-saving, double-lung transplant. The surgery was performed at UCLA by the extraordinary Dr. Abbas Ardehali.



In 2013, before her diagnosis, Chloé was set to tour with Grammy-nominated Greg Camp of Smash Mouth. Her diagnosis drastically altered her trajectory. Despite her health challenges, Chloé focused on healing through nutritional lifestyle, exercise, mindset, creative expression, and quality time with loved ones.

Emerging stronger, she produced albums such as "Be Brave," "Strangers," and "Lead Me Home," with "Be Brave" achieving over 150,000 downloads in its initial days. Currently working on her fifth album, she has collaborated with Grammy-winning songwriters and has been acknowledged with numerous awards.

Post-transplant, Chloé's mission has expanded to promote organ donation awareness. Her dedication includes



The Chloe Temtchine Foundation (TCTF), which supports those living with PAH and other serious conditions. Through TCTF, she spearheads initiatives like Super Brave Kids and The Smile Tour, uplifting pediatric patients and their families across the U.S.



Her linguistic proficiency includes French, Spanish, and English, and her innovative "Oxygen Sisters" alter egos humorously convey her life lessons.



Highly respected in the music industry, Chloe has worked with notable talents like Toby Gad (John Legend, Beyoncé), Guy Roche (Christina Aguilera), and Sasha Skarbek (James Blunt), to name a few. Her appearances include "Late Night with David Letterman," "The Doctors," Hallmark's "Home & Family," Fox 5 News, CNN, and KTLA, and her story has been spotlighted in renowned publications such as the Huffington Post, Thrive Global, LA Weekly, and New York Post, to name a few. Her original songs have been featured in films, TV shows, and commercials.



As a speaker, Chloé's mission is to inspire hope, emphasizing the power of perspective, gratitude, and resilience. Renowned globally, she is engaged by top brands and pharmaceutical giants such as Johnson & Johnson and hired for exclusive events to share her empowering story and inspiring music.
