Chloe Traicos was born and raised in Zimbabwe. Her father is international cricket star, John Traicos and her mother, Annette Kileff is an artist. Chloe lived in Zimbabwe until until 2005 when she was forced to flee the country after having made a controversial documentary about the country's leader, Robert Mugabe. In her documentary Chloe speaks out on behalf of the Zimbabwean people who have spent years being persecuted and starved. Despite the fact she had to leave the country, Chloe's documentary ( aptly named " A Stranger in my Homeland" ) went on to win awards throughout the world. Chloe then immigrated to Australia with her parents and sister. In Australia Chloe went on to make the award winning Indie film " I Wish I Were Stephanie V" which opened the New York City International Film Festival in 2011, with a special screening outside in Times Square. Chloe has since moved to the US where she continues to make films.

Chloe is a passionate advocate for the people of Zimbabwe and is heavily involved in the Save Zimbabwe Movement.

Jennifer Saran is one of the most gifted, compelling and creative singers in the worlds of adult pop and contemporary jazz. Jazz was always at the heart of Saran’s musical makeup (among her earliest musical influences was Ella Fitzgerald), but in her collaboration with her creative partner, Grammy and Emmy-winner Narada Michael Walden, she has embraced the sophisticated form fully while adding her own unique style to the genre. Together, the pair of Saran and Walden create wondrous pieces of time: their richly detailed compositions unfold like modern classics, with Walden’s masterful arrangements and instrumentation creating lush beds of sound on which Saran’s impeccable voice – a singularly expressive and virtuosic instrument – can work its magic. She is also a passionate advocate for food security and helping combat climate change. She is a voice against injustice and an accomplished business woman who uses her platform to bring change. find out more about this incredible performer, her collaborations with icons like Carlos Santana, Walden, and the Ladysmith Black Mambazo at JenniferSaran.com
