“Angela Leo is a talented artist whose inspiring songs will touch listeners for many years to come.”
– All Access Magazine
She’s walked across fire, parachuted from airplanes and made camp in the heart of the Costa Rican rain forest, but Angela Leo’s most courageous act to date is writing songs. Within the tightly crafted lyrics and emotional agility that defines her debut CD, Cognitive Dissonance, the Hollywood-based Leo neatly grafts the evolved sensibility of a poet to her songs.
“I didn’t write these songs, the songs wrote me. They came out of my experience, and I have to be true to their souls.”
Originally from the Bay Area, Angela performs in Berkeley, San Francisco, and Hollywood clubs like Knitting Factory, Viper Room and The Cat Club.
"She writes to explore truth. Check out her lilting voice and penchant for ethereal tunes."
- Glen Starkey, New Times (May 07, 2009)
"A female Jim Morrison"
- Bill Tindall, West LA Music (Aug 09, 2008)

I'm planning to be in California July 11th ~ 24th. Unfortunately I won't be able to make July 12th gig. any other gigs that i might can attend during that visiting period? Would love to catch you at a gig while i'm there!
Im asking you all from the bottom of my heart... To PLEASE take the
time to watch the movie Invisible Children. You can find it on YOUTUBE.
These children are killed and abducted everyday. If we the people
scream and shout or voices will be heard and some of these precious
children could be saved from a life of pure hell.
I urge you to send this to anyone you know and to also write your
government including Obama. Let your voice along with many many others
be heard. It takes a second to write your concern and will help save
hundreds of dieing children in Uganda.
Look inside your hearts and see that we are all connected and all of us
should be helping our brothers and sisters. Not just Americans but the
world! And we can live in harmony if people would really care.
