Chloé Temtchine

Chloé Temtchine, an award-winning singer/songwriter lived with Pulmonary Hypertension for 12 years. On August 5, 2020, after suffering a cardiac arrest, being in a coma for four days, and on life support (ECMO) for almost a month, Chloé received a life-saving, double-lung transplant. The surgery was performed at UCLA by the incredible Dr. Abbas Ardehali.In 2013, Chloé had just finished an album with Smash Mouth’s Grammy-nominated Greg Camp. All set to go on a world tour with Camp, Chloé suffered congestive right-heart failure and was rushed to the ER. She was told she had Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), a rare and fatal lung condition, little time left to live, and that she would have to be on oxygen for the rest of her life.To say that Chloé’s world was turned upside down in an instant is not an overstatement. She had spent the previous five years dealing with a variety of physical symptoms (shortness of breath, chest pain, dry cough, body aches, racing heartbeat, fatigue, and water retention) that left many respected and acclaimed doctors at some of the most prestigious medical institutions perChloeplexed. During this time, Chloé was diagnosed with everything from pulmonary embolism to sarcoidosis to autoimmune disease. One physician even suggested that she see a psychiatrist. All of them were wrong.Chloé’s story, though, is not about the years of doctor-hopping, misdiagnoses, or landing in the Critical Care Unit. It's about what happened afterwards and where she is today.Chloé left the hospital, in 2013, determined to do everything possible to boost her health and beat the odds in order to extend her lifespan. She took control of her destiny and completely altered her lifestyle, utilizing Five Key Principles: Nutritional Lifestyle, Exercise, Mindset, Creative Expression, Family & Friends.Seven years after being released from the critical care unit and many, many, many days more than doctors thought possible, Chloé was writing music, performing, and using her talent to inspire and empower those affected with PAH and other chronic illnesses. In that time, she released three albums: Be Brave, Strangers, and Lead Me Home. Chloé wrote the song Be Brave shortly after she was released from the hospital's critical care unit. Over 150,000 copies were downloaded within the first 90 days of its release. She just completed her fourth album, titled You Save Me, and is working on her fifth album. Once out of the hospital, Chloé jumped right back into songwriting mode. By 2014, Chloé (who sings with a paralyzed vocal cord and who sang with her oxygen tank that she affectionately named Steve Martin) debuted Be Brave, a song about making the choice to live despite life’s challenges.
