The New-York based American House and Techno singer-songwriter Angelala found her calling through the dance and techno music scene in Detroit, her home. After being in the electro-pop duo HRT BRK then A&B for about a year, and experiencing the Winter Music Conference in Miami on a spring break trip, she eventually couldn’t resist her passion for creating house music as a soloist. Of course, regular visits to Chicago (the birthplace of house music) would also solidify her drive toward the house scene, and eventually play a role in her making the move to NYC. It was then in NYC Angelala had the revelation of not just wanting to be a spectator of house music but instead embodying it as a creative musician.
Since then, Angelala has gone on to be a part of momentous projects like her first release with Grammy-nominated House Music innovator Todd Terry, and releasing on labels like Inhouse, Terminator, Let There Be House, Grind City, S&S, Pocket Jacks, Break It Down Music, Fidget Music, King Street Sounds, Autektone and Broken Records. Performance-wise, she’s also showcased at legendary NYC venues such as Bowery Electric, Highland Ballroom, Pyramid Club, Pianos, Electric Room, The Rosemont, Macri Park, and many more. Now, Angelala releases on Grammy award-winning Steve “Silk” Hurley‘s label S&S Records once again alongside Tech Us Out and also releases again on King Street Sounds alongside Col Lawton for a 2023 project.
