Biography

Chloe Potter caught the performance bug at the young age of six, learning piano, and quickly progressing onto clarinet, saxophone and other woodwinds. Trained firstly as a classical clarinetist, achieving her grade 8 within her second year of secondary school, and performing in ensembles such as the National Youth Orchestra, Chloe learnt jazz saxophone for her own interest, emulating recordings of her favourite artists, and regularly attending Musician's Union jam sessions.

She began to experiment more seriously with Jazz during her time at Alton College Sixth form college, Hampshire, under the guidance of teacher and composer, Martin Read. Her Saxophone tutor at the time was Malcolm Miles, who she studied with at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama Junior School throughout secondary school and into her sixth form years.
Chloe went on to complete a BMus in Music at the acclaimed Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London, and graduated in July 2007. During her time there she was fortunate enough to perform and study with some of the UK's finest jazz musicians such as Kenny Wheeler, Phil Donkin, Martin Hathaway, Pete Churchill and Martin Speake.

Since graduating Guildhall, Chloe has continued to perform with a diverse variety of groups, from work with bigbands such as the Ian James Bigband, to saxophone quartets, funk ensembles, film premieres and classical solo performances. She also works as a composer, having been commissioned to write music for short films and youtube projects – one such film went on to be premiered at the Hastings Film Festival, winning first place.

Notable venues Chloe has performed at include The O2 Centre, The 606 Jazz Club, The Vortex Jazz Club, The Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, and The Guildford Guildhall. Festivals include The City of London Festival and The Croydon Jazz Festival. She has also toured much of Europe.
