Michael Angel*

Hi my names Angel, Im a singer song writer. The song playing on this page is "Collide" by my band Angry Angel. I sing and play guitar, Sante on drums and Mr.Zero on bass. The top row of my friends list is all my music projects over the years. I write music in all styles for soundtrack work as well. I live just north of Philadelphia PA in the Warington area. Im originally from Cedar Rapids Iowa and moved to philly at 21 to go to Art school to become a painter and ended up a musician. I also dabble in photography and have done some acting as well. I aspire to be an inventor someday. Im working on a perpetual motion generator, and a new type of mathematics that will hopefully change the world for the better. I love road trips, the great outdoors, and exploring the Southwest desert. I also love reading, learning and perpetually becoming a better person. Iv probably forgotten more than most people have learned. Im very spiritual and have studied metaphysics and the science of psychology since I was very young. Im currently working on a book about those subjects. No, im not a nerd, trust me on that one;-) I have been very blessed in my life to have had many experiences that defy what we know about the nature of reality. I've been to heaven, hell and everywhere in-between and im not being metaphorical at all. I can remember some of my past life times as well, which has given me a very unique perspective on the world that most people don't have. I've also been known to be a bit on the psychic side, well a lot actually. If i could sum up everything I've learned in life it would be "nothing is what it seems" and those of you that think your living outside "the box" are as tightly jammed in it as all the rest.

He made an amp from an old eight track stereo that he used to listen to his big brothers hand me down 8tracks. Styx, Kansas and Queen were some of his first influences, compliments of his brothers. The guitar only had three strings; E, A, and G. This is what influenced his open string drowning style. When his mom came home and heard his stereo blaring Eruption by Van Hallen she told him to turn it down. When she realized it was him and not the stereo, she decided it was time to go out and buy him a real guitar. Over the next seven years he played guitar for various original bands, but his love for painting inspired him to move to the East Coast at the age of 20. After a year of painting and attending art school in the Philadelphia area he had his first gallery showing. It went well enough to get the painting monkey off his back but then his need to write music came back full strength. The timing was perfect because that's when he met Damon an incredible guitarist looking for a song-writing partner. This is when Angel began to become a front man. The first band the two of them formed was ADI SHAKTI, a hard rock band with Angel as the lead singer and bassist. They played the Philadelphia area for a few years before they changed their name to TOWER ISLAND.----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------- After their change in name they met up with OCI Records. OCI signed them and put out an album within months. Angel produced the album with the labels president Glen Ohara. He also did all the illustration work for the album as well. The first single was a Song called "Nothing Else". After just one month after release it hit medium rotation on 106 stations nation wide with no advertising. It was doing great but the label was in financial trouble. Independent of the bands success the label went bankrupt. The band's disappointment pushed them to brake up. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------Regardless of this Angel pushed forward and reformed the band again with new members. This time not only was he the singer but the rhythm and lead guitarist as well. He then started an on-line broadcasting company called "The New Rock Empire". It was a weekly live Internet broadcast that promoted unsigned bands to people and labels around the world. This open the doors to set the stage for Angels current project ANGRY ANGEL. Angels new music ranges from rock to trip hop and everything in between. You'll currently find his music popping up in a verity of soundtracks being released at this time. The first official ANGRY ANGEL album is in production at this time as well, but if you would like a sneak peek make sure you check out Angels live shows in the Philadelphia area.
