Hello and thanks for visiting my page!
My story began in rural Prince Edward Island, Canada with my mother sitting across from me on the living room floor strumming her guitar as we both sang “How far is Heaven”, an old Kitty Wells song. I admit, it was a pretty depressing song for a 4 year old, but is probably the song that led me onto the path of longing for the beautiful darkness of sad melancholic melodies.
Now living in Montreal for the past few years, I continue to write new songs and regularly perform in small venues throughout Montreal, Toronto and eastern Canada. Last year, through my MySpace profile, I was invited to perform in Los Angeles California, which was really amazing. I haven't had the opportunity to go to Europe yet, but I hope to soon make my way across the Atlantic to perform a few shows...
After recording a few demos over the past few years and with no word of attention from major labels, I began recording new material and back in February 2007, I independently released a 4 song EP titled The First Set. Along with the EP, I also began a story-teller format Internet video series that I call My Shattered Windows. So far the response has been nothing less than amazing... Thank You!
No matter the outcome of all this, I don’t think I could ever stop making music by choice… it isn’t a choice for me. It just is. Life is an adventure. Let’s keep our eyes open, our hearts on our sleeves and our spirits alive… and hope to meet at a concert someday soon!!!

Sounds Like: People will often say a bit of Tori Amos mixed with some early Kate Bush (who was discovered only after receiving these comments!!!), some Coldplay and Radiohead with a dash of Damien Rice and Sarah Slean. But in all sounds like Angie...

"Filled with emotionally complex lyrics, bittersweet melodies and a fleeting nuance of dark piano-drenched pop/alternative sounds (Tori Amos, Damien Rice & Radiohead), Angie’s songs recount tales of empty rooms, cold hearts and dreamy longings."
