Angel-A

Posted on by

Recording Artist, Producer, Keyboardist, Songwriter, Vocalist

Angel-A delivers an extensive package of soul-stirring, heart pounding liberated music. A native Detroiter, currently residing in Chicago, she is a musical force to be reckoned with. Heavily influenced by a family of Jazz musicians, Gospel preachers and a city bursting with legendary Motown Music and Gospel Giants, at age 6 she began singing and playing the piano in church; And by the age of 13, composing her own music.

Trailblazing a brand new world with a captivating spirit, Angel-A delivers a brave fusion of jazz with the soul stirring inspiration of gospel. Taking her cues from Sarah Vaughn, Billy Holiday, Gloria Estephan, and Sade, Angel-A owns the style and sophistication of a 1950’s retro couture collection. Few producer, songwriter, vocalists in this time dare to embrace pure form and express messages of substance to a wider audience. Angel-A creates a cool space for listeners to experience.

Performing both original Jazz standards and soul compositions, serenaded audiences with her smooth style and charismatic flair. She has toured and shared stages with Chaka Khan, El Debarge, Oleta Adams, Pattie La Belle, Howard Hewitt, Eric Roberson, Dr. Bobby Jones, The Clark Sisters, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Rance Allen, The Winans and many others.

These days Angel-A continues her journey as a producer performing with a jazz band or teaming up with DJ/artist/ producers like: Tony Humphries, Roy Davis Jr., Stephanie Cooke, Tony Loreto, Jose Carretas to name a few.

Related Genres include: Soulful House, Soul, Jazz Lounge/Chill Out, R&B, Afro/Latin
