Angelou, is an alternative R&B singer-songwriter based in London, UK. Although no one in the family was professionally occupied with music, her father was the first person who introduced her to different genres of it. “I grew up surrounded mostly by the vinyl sounds of blues and rock, as my father used to play it in our household all the time. I fell in love with electric guitars of and crunchy voices of Steven Tyler, Mick Jagger, Guns and Roses. Not long after that my brother introduced me to the scene of Western R&B and Hip-Hop scene, which I instantly felt the passion and love for. The mixture of these genres had a great influence on my musical development and also has a great reflection on my music now.”

Recording and editing her music or video material in her room, Angelou has always been very DIY. “I was constantly chasing the idea of being as much self-reliant as possible. I am just too impatient. I would rather learn how to do specific things myself than wait for someone else to do it for me.”

Angelou began to develop her sound, style, and persona just a few years back after moving to United Kingdom. After that she self-released the single “Lovetrack,” which features New Jersey-based rapper Ess Vee.

In 2016 Angelou has announced to release a debut four-song visual EP entitled “Vision A” starting with lead single “GRIP”. The sound is crafting a mysterious, foggy atmosphere where anything can happen accompanied by honey-soothing-vocals on top. Intimate and highly sensuous, it is blending elements of a darker spectrum of alternative RnB.

“At the end of the day I try to keep it as honest as possible, I am not afraid of being vulnerable if I feel like and I stress a lot on a sensuousness while describing my sound.“
