Ali

LA-native musician Ali Angel’s retro-soul meets indie twang sound emanates a 1970’s influence, appealing to classic rock, indie pop, soul, and country enthusiasts. Listeners have compared her classic, catchy sound to the likes of Lake Street Dive, Alabama Shakes and Sheryl Crow.  Her debut self-titled EP, released in the spring of 2022 garnered 200k+ Spotify streams independently, earning recognition from Relix Magazine, DittyTV, and more, including an editorial playlist add of her song, “Hideaway” from Youtube Music on their, “The New Americana” playlist. A fixture in the LA live music scene, Angel and her band have held residencies and played packed shows at prominent venues all over the city, from Good Times at Davey Waynes to Desert 5 Spot, Gold Diggers and Hotel Cafe. She’s received attention from prominent local and independent stations including 88.5 The SoCal Sound and 88.9 KXLU as well, garnering consistent radio spins. Her upcoming EP, “Is This Really Happening?” coming out in 2024 is Angel's best work yet; a collection of standout songs that mix her retro soul classic sound with a modern indie touch, while lyrically tapping into bolder and more vulnerable topics about navigating her queer identity, sexuality, mental health, and self-discovery in relationships. You can catch her currently playing shows and festivals around California, New Orleans and Arizona and planning a later, widespread fall tour to promote the upcoming EP release.
