Halston Dare, the breakthrough pop/dance indie artist that has already taken two singles into the Top 20 on Billboard, will be performing during the H-E-B Houston Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday, November 25. Kicking off at 9 AM, Halston will be a featured vocalist on the Adams Davy AXS float and is excited to spread holiday cheer to her native community of Houston.
“Spending the holidays in Houston is truly a magical experience with some of my favorite memories of the season anchored right here in this city. I’m excited to join the Thanksgiving Day parade thanks to the Adams Davy AXS float. The Adams Davy Agency provided me with the tools and access to try new opportunities. It was an important chapter of discovery that was necessary in order for me to land exactly where I am today. Happy Thanksgiving and happy holidays.”

As an emerging pop artist, Halston already has incredible achievements under her belt. Recently, she opened for Rico Nasty in Houston and also performed at Kentuckiana Pride alongside a lineup featuring Todrick Hall and Neon Trees. Reaching over one million streams on her summer smash Girls, Halston recently teamed up with DJ Riddler to create a pounding dance remix of the breakthrough track. DJ Riddler, an award winning producer behind remixes for Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, Demi Lovato, Drake, Jason Derulo, Kelly Clarkson, Mariah Carey, P!nk, Pitbull, etc., was the perfect match for Halston on this release.

Halston’s summer smash Girls landed perfectly between a mix of Ava Max, Dua Lipa and Lizzo on playlists empowering listeners to hit the town with their favorite female squad. Written by Halston and Jesse Barrera (Tori Kelly & US the Duo), her signature sass shines through in this flirty, confident single.
Editor-in-chief of Off the Record blog, Tom Neil, raved about Halston’s most recent release Girls. “It’s always good when I get to hear music like this that’s fresh and just has a nice vibe. It’s not just music. It’s a mood, it’s fun and it’s something to dance to.”
Halston kicked off 2021 achieving a new milestone in her career when she landed two tracks in the Top 20 on Billboard. Those songs were both featured on the e.l.f. Cosmetics holiday album E.L.F. the Hauls. The project was a monumental streaming success acquiring over 13 million plays on Triller which parlayed these releases onto the Billboard “Top U.S. Triller” Chart. Halston also directed the social media launch by premiering the project via an Instagram Live to e.l.f Cosmetics’ 5.7 million followers. In addition, Girls joins her previous releases Pinnacle and Teach Em as a milestone single surpassing over one million streams on Spotify. American Songwriter Magazine praised Halston for crafting "one of the year's boldest should-be-smashes." Debbie Mazella at Magic 98.3 WMGQ-FM (New Jersey) said, "Get ready to be blown away by the infectious sound."

From the musical city that has launched icons like Beyoncé, Megan Thee Stallion, Travis Scott and Machine Gun Kelly comes another spotlight act on the dance pop scene, Houston's own Halston Dare. Delivering consistent hit releases like Teach Em, Pinnacle & Girls, all three accumulating over one million streams on Spotify, Halston proves lockdowns were not a time of rest for this Cuban American who launched multiple releases throughout 2020-21. She closed 2020 as a featured artist on e.l.f. Cosmetics holiday album e.l.f. the Hauls with both of her singles on the project landing on the Billboard Top 20 "Top Triller U.S." Chart --- Jingle Bells #9 and Joy to the World #20. With industry leaders like Tushar Apte (Demi Lovato’s Sober), Whitney Phillips (Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber’s Stuck with U), Michelle Buzz (Katy Perry’s Never Really Over), Shane Stevens (Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Meghan Trainor, Fifth Harmony and Lady A), Jordan Sapp (Jason Derulo) and Jesse Barrera (Tori Kelly and US the Duo) 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.
