Gaining attention from self-released music on social media platforms, Halsey was signed by Astralwerks in 2014. She toured with acts such as The Kooks and Imagine Dragons to promote her debut extended play, Room 93 (2014). Her debut studio album, Badlands (2015), was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Four singles were released from the album, all of which achieved minor commercial success. Halsey rose to prominence with “Closer” (2016), a collaboration with The Chainsmokers, which topped the charts in major music markets. Her second studio album, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom (2017), consisted of more “radio friendly” music than her prior material. It became her first album to top the US Billboard 200, and generated the single “Bad at Love”, which became her first top five entry on the Billboard Hot 100 as a lead artist. On February 2, 2018, Halsey released her third single with a video titled “Sorry”. In April 2018, it was announced she would appear in a small role in A Star Is Born, directed by Bradley Cooper. Outside the music industry, Halsey has been involved in social activism, including suicide prevention awareness and sexual assault advocacy. Get closer to Halsey!
