She has six brothers: three biological brothers, two African American foster brothers and one Mexican-Filipino brother. She attended St. Ignatius College Prep.[5] At 15, she moved to China to pursue a singing career.[6] She changed her name to "Chloe Bennet" to appeal more to Western media.[7]

She then moved to Los Angeles, California.[6] Her first on-screen appearance was as a host for the short-lived TeenNick summer dance series The Nightlife. She appeared in the 2011 music video for "Tonight", by South Korean band BIGBANG.
From 2012 to 2013 Bennet played a recurring supporting role in the ABC drama series Nashville as Hailey.[9]
In December 2012, Bennet was cast as a series regular on the ABC series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.[9][10][11] which premiered on September 24, 2013. She plays Skye, a hacktivist member of the secret organization The Rising Tide, who is recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D.
