ALI ANGEL

With her soulful, indie twang sound, independent artist Ali Angel is carving a distinct niche for herself in the Los Angeles live music scene. Her songwriting echoes classic influences like Sheryl Crow, yet her voice and presence are unmistakably her own. Angel’s debut 2026 album, “Is This Really Happening?” combines her warm vintage vibe with a modern indie touch, evoking nostalgia for a 70’s meets 90’s sound paired with optimistic lyricism. Deemed one of 88.5 The SoCal Sound’s “favorite songwriters”, Angel has received consistent radio support, with her debut album charting in the top 50 of the Americana radio album and singles charts for well over a month. Angel has also been featured in various editorial playlists including Spotify’s, “The New Retro”, “Emerging Americana”, “Fresh Finds”, Tidal’s, “Country and Folk Rising” and more. Self-written and produced by Ryan Pollie, Tyler Ballgame and Angel, the album explores themes of kismet, emotional honesty, duality, spiritual connection and two people growing in tandem set against the backdrop of her hometown Los Angeles.
