About

Angel is a British modern folk, female singer-songwriter, musician and producer.

Her sensitive-yet-powerful voice is supported by a blend of organic and electronic instruments including guitar, harp, violin, double bass, synths, keys and percussion.

Collective storytelling for a new world

Angel’s exquisitely crafted songs honour an ever-unfolding path of deep personal growth, touching on many aspects of the inner world, including fear, vulnerability, intimacy, love, loss, grief, motherhood, the mother wound, femininity, the seasons of life, connection to the natural world and breaking free from the psychological chains that constrain us.

 An individual story of repression to rising, that resonates with the wider collective human experiences of facing fears, courageously opening the heart, healing the past, letting love in and living with purpose.

A journey of initiation

Bravely stepping into her authentic power as a creative woman, Angel is challenging deeply rooted beliefs around visibility, age and gender. In a culture obsessed with youthfulness, ignoring definitions of worthiness based on surface-level qualities is an act of defiance.

Angel knows her age has nothing to do with the quality of her voice, the power of her truth, or the beauty of her songs. The world knows a balance of masculine and feminine energy is necessary for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable future. The world needs more female knowledge, wisdom and experience. The world needs more women in their power.

From tragedy to triumph

Angel grew up in an all-female household, daughter of a fierce and radical mother who rejected societal expectations of a woman’s role, and modeled independence and freedom. Angel spent many hours backstage as a child and often sang on stage with her mum, to large supportive audiences. Yet privately, her mother struggled with her mental health and after a long and difficult battle with depression, when Angel was 21 years old, she took her own life. This was a shocking pivotal moment for Angel. One that would render her unable to sing for around a decade, silenced by her grief and unable to allow herself to sink into the river of lost souls, for fear she may drown.

Instead, she poured vast amounts of love into building a creative music community that grew into thousands of people in central London called Planet Angel. Many relationships, marriages, friendships and babies were formed within the Planet Angel community, and the organisation had a healing impact on hundreds of lives.

No matter how successful it all became though, for Angel, there was a piece missing. She was strangled by anxiety, fear and self-doubt. Her soul was silenced. She was carrying issues of abandonment, rejection, lack of self-worth, hurt and trauma. Disconnected from her inner and outer landscape. Everything she did, she did for others. She did not tend to herself.  Like a rosebud, holding herself together tightly, knowing that once she opened up her voice, she would open her heart, and the feelings would pour out.

After almost a decade battling with her inner dark and rejecting her authentic truth, Angel started to feel the urge to sing again. It became strong, as though she needed to exorcise a part of her soul that needed to be free. The whisperings were growing louder and more frequent.

It was the love of her grounded, affectionate, compassionate husband and birth of their sons that offered Angel the safe place she needed to begin the vulnerable process of cracking open and learning to trust. Over the next few decades she worked through a deep healing process; allowing herself to feel everything. She healed her trauma, released old stories, patterns and unhealthy behaviours, rewrote the story, cut the cords, searched for, and brought back, the lost and fragmented parts of her soul.

Finally, she answered the call, gathered her courage, walked out from beneath the shadow of fear and pain, found her voice and began to sing!
