ANG£L ‘Angel 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 da sh*t). So then the hours that ‘Angel’ spent ‘spit-doodling,’ took on the ‘status’ of a full-time job. Although Angel 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. ‘Angel’ 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!) Angels’ writing and rhyming skills became much in demand. So he began writing lyrics for other ‘spitters’ 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.’) Angel also guest stars on ‘Dj Amnesty’s’ ‘Uninvited Guests’, ‘My Boys- Vol.3.’ While the instrumental version of ‘Angel’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. ‘Angel’ continues to push against the ‘walls’ yet further, by writing his own melodic songs. ‘I don’t do singing, but I don’t let that stop me from writing hot songs! My style is very charismatic, lyrical, and flashy with a real ‘street feel’ to it.’ If you’ve got cash in your pockets, do check Angel out gig-wise. You’ll find that apart from his infectious, ‘party-bumping swagger.’ ‘Angels’ 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 ‘Eads, naah mean!) F’sure his gigs won’t consist of just mans’ in a corner blazin’ weed. The ladies love this brotha f’real, expect much of them! Angel has recently 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 Angels’ new album. His debut album, ‘Soar With Me’ is soon to be released on the streets, (be careful to avoid all the c-charge zones). Be sure to keep your ears to the underground, for a soon to be televised piece of UK TV programming, called ‘the Show, ’ featuring ‘Angel the Artist’. ‘An Angel is a messenger of the Universe, communicating powerful messages thru word. So as long as people get to hear me, I know it’ll be cool…’ ‘Angel the Artist’ (bio text: charliebins@mail.com o6)
