Mark Kibble and Sherrie Kibble Adams will be sharing their journey through loving uncoupling and supporting their daughter singer/songwriter Chloe Kibble. As a member of Take 6, Mark is a 10x Grammy wining musical producer/ vocalist while Sherrie is a gifted singer and successful business professional but all their accomplishments, they are most proud to parent the talented Chloe (26) and Ryan Kibble (24). Guided by her talented parents, Chloe eludes the confines of any one style, genre, or geographical border, embracing her love for the macrocosm of Black music, the underground jazz scene and transcontinental neo-soul collective. Chloe centers her Black and queer identities in her music, leaving her listeners feeling seen and their souls soothed.
