But what you may not know is that this isn’t Bailey’s first time on a Disney-related project. If you want to check out what Bailey was up to pre-Ariel, we recommend checking out these six awesome options below!
Let It Shine (2012)
Bailey is half of the R&B duo Chloe x Halle with her older sister. Halle’s first role with Disney was alongside Chloe (her older sister) in the Disney Channel show Let It Shine. This movie musical follows a teenage rapper who hides his music from his family. Halle and Chloe played the role of choir members in the film.
Next Big Thing (2012)
In 2012 Halle and Chloe starred in Radio Disney’s Next Big Thing. The reality contest brought unsigned artists together to compete and deliver interviews and the Next Big Thing was chosen via online polling. Halle appears in the fifth and final season. This is a great first taste of the Bailey sisters’ incredible voices!
Austin & Ally (2013)
Halle would crop up on the Disney Channel one year later in the beloved Disney Channel series Austin & Alley. Be on the lookout for the Little Mermaid-to be performing song Unstoppable in Season 2 on an episode titled “Moon Week & Mentors.” In the episode, Austin and Ally are hosts of a talent show with Halle and Chloe as performers.
A Wrinkle in Time (2018)
Disney’s adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s beloved 1962 novel features an amazing soundtrack including the song “Warrior” by Chloe X Halle. This is a song they would go on to perform at the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards.
grown-ish (2018-2022)
Both Halle and Chloe starred as twins on the ABC series grown-ish. Halle played an ambitious college student Sky Forster who is a dedicated track athlete and loves her sister.
