ANG£L
'Ang£l the Artist' was brought forth into the World in Nigeria, (the west of the Motherland). Before shifting over to London in the UK, at the dawn of his teenage years. His love for music first began evolving when he messed about writing Rap nuggets. (But over time he realised that his stuff was nice). So then the hours that 'Ang£l' spent 'spit-doodling,' took on the 'status' of a full-time job. Although Ang£l resided in London, for much, of his teenage years. The 'straight up', infectious 'Hip Hop' culture straight outta the US imprinted heavily on him. His journey began, as a performer working as part of a duo, known as 'HIPNOTIC.' They smashed up much shows throughout London and the rest of the UK. Including them famously, warming up for 'Ludacris' at the Brixton Academy.
'Ang£l' later decided to work, only, alongside his 'ruff' Dj, 'Marc B,' hailing from the 'So So Def Dj Collective' (Def Djs). (The only member not from the US, but outta Denmark, reh!) Ang£ls' writing and rhyming skills became much in demand. So he began writing lyrics for other 'artists' to perform. While also getting involved in the whole international, underground 'mixtape' thang. Appearing on nuggets such as, 'Marc B's' 'Boss of Bosses', 'Marc B' & 'Dj Haze' 'the Executives vol.3', (the track from that was played on Atlanta radio by the much-respected 'Jermaine Dupri.'), Dj Denox 'we break the hits'. Ang£l also guest stars on 'Dj Amnesty's' 'Uninvited Guests', 'My Boys- Vol.3.' While the instrumental version of 'Ang£l's' banger 'Fire Fire,' was creating 'forest fires' on top of the illegal airwaves. Check out more of Angel's product, on a globally released Basketball DVD @ www.streetball.co.uk.
If you've got cash in your pockets, do check Ang£l out at shows. You'll find that apart from his infectious, 'party-bumping swagger.' 'Ang£ls' product holds enough 'groove', to make sure that ladies, also get in on the vibe. (But the beats are still tough enough, to appeal to the 'real' Hip Hop heads, ya dig!?!) No doubt his shows won't consist of just guys. The ladies love this young fella', expect much of them!
Ang£l has hit the studios in 'Texas, (yep that's what I said!) Working with 'BodyRockin' Music,' a production company overseen by 'Damar 'D Powers' Howard'. So expect to hear some nuggets from that link up. Along with some remixes worked from Ang£ls' new album.
His currently independently released debut album "Soar With Me" a diverse sounding album introducing the listener to Angel the artist. His style of music can be described as hip-hop with a slight r'n'b twist to it, "I describe my sound as club with a street feel to it".
This is one artist thats here to stay for a very long time, To find out more about you can check out www.angeltheartist.com, www.reverbnation.com/angeltheartist and www.myspace.com/angeltheartist

The name is Ang£l because angels are communicators of messages whatever the message might be and music being the universal language it all fell into place, the poundsterling representing where I currently reside and that fact I'm about getting it.
