About Halston Dare

From the musical city that has launched icons like Beyonce, Megan Thee Stallion, Travis Scott and Machine Gun Kelly comes another spotlight act on the dance pop scene, Houston’s own Halston Dare. Delivering back-to-back releases that have garnered more than a half-a-million streams each, Halston has proven quarantine is not a time of rest for a Cuban American who launched new releases Replace You and Teach Em in 2020. With industry leaders like Tushar Apte (Demi Lovato’s Sober), Whitney Phillips (Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber’s Stuck with U), and Michelle Buzz (Katy Perry’s Never Really Over) guiding her writing and production, Halston is boldly finding her home in the club/dance/pop arena.  Reared in a musical family where her father toured the U.S. in a barbershop quartet, her unique sound developed from a childhood immersed in the chart-topping, culture-shaping artists of the 70s, 80s and 90s like Patti Labelle, Bryan Adams, Donna Summer and Whitney Houston.  This singer-songwriter, performer, influencer and eco-friendly activist, will have you vibin’ to her unique style and proving once again that H-town is the breeding ground of emerging, game-changing talent.
