Singing from the womb, Angela picked up the guitar at 14 and started writing her own songs in between teaching herself Nirvana covers. In the backdrop of Calgary, AB, her Indian father and Austrian mother drove her to gigs as she began been strumming her brand of pop-folk at local clubs, breaking into the music scene before she had finished her first year of high school. Playing in a pop/rock band that took her across the continent and back a few times, performing at festivals alongside bands like Evanescence and Sum 41, she garnered enough experience and road cred to move the band to Canada’s biggest city. You can catch Angela playing her synth around Toronto with her current band DRIVE FASTER, and also in an episode of “Master Tracks” on AUX TV. A runner-up for “Best Female Artist” in the 2010 International Acoustic Music Awards, her solo EP "The Story" is due out in 2010.
