BIOGRAPHY

Angela was humming before she could talk, writing lyrics and songs in Elementary School, and daydreaming about the fulfilling and exciting life of a musician.

Explosive and elegant, Angela Reed sings and writes an eclectically influenced blend of music. This Seattle-based songstress is a competent lyricist, a melodic soul, a personal performer, and a beautiful example of artistry at work.

Her sound fits comfortably nestled in between such rock, pop and folk veterans as Sheryl Crow, Joni Mitchell, Marc Cohn, and younger, energetic acts like Brandi Carlile and Guster.

Her love of music has taken her from Berklee College of Music (Boston, MA) to Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, WA (received a Bachelor of Music), from growing up singing solos in the choir to performing her own original music across the country, from a nervous laugh to owning the stage. Angela makes her way before an audience with grace, confidence, and class.

She has performed with many accomplished artists like Al Anderson (NRBQ), Cheryl Wheeler, Kenny White (NY songwriter-Marc Cohn/ Peter Wolf), Kelly Harland (Etta James/ Beach Boys), and Jonathan Edwards. Her studies have included working under such greats as Catherine Russell (David Bowie/Jackson Brown), Jovino Santos Neto (Grammy nominated Brazilian artist/composer), and Julian Priester (Herbie Hancock/Sun Ra).
