“Armed with a voice as big as Texas and a dynamic stage presence…soaring talentâ€â€¦â€œAngela’s purpose is simple: She loves to perform. She draws inspiration from interaction with the crowd rather than recognition, and she performs tirelessly.†- CountryStyle, TX Magazine
“The petite Peterson has a glossy chestnut mane Shakira should envy, a great smile, mischievous green eyes and tawny skin. Onstage she dances –with Tae Bo kicks and boot-scootin’ shuffles – showing a lack of inhibition not usually seen outside of slumber parties…Peterson, even singing a cappella has a silky, liquid voice with a touch of twang.†- Houston Chronicle
Fueled by a passion for country music and performing, singer/songwriter Angela Peterson is a consummate entertainer. Constant performing in her native Houston, as well as other Texas markets, has earned her a legion of ardent fans, and the word is spreading - even as far as Nashville.
Growing up in a family that always supported and nurtured her talent enabled Angela to set goals for a career in music at an early age. Her father, Pete, a retired fireman, and her mother, Peggy, a homemaker, are devoted to Angela’s career, as are her older brother, Paul and his family. According to her parents, she began singing even before she could speak clearly, singing along with the radio. She overcame her youthful shyness by performing for family and friends at various gatherings, including her church.
Eventually, Angela began performing at private social events and in local clubs in Houston and the surrounding area, all the while juggling performing with school. She graduated early from high school and received an academic scholarship. After spending two years in college in Houston, she moved to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music. Her desire to perform drew her back to Houston, however, and she resumed her steady performance schedule. Along the way, Angela was able to fulfill one of her goals – she was invited to sing the National Anthem at the Houston Astrodome. It happened at a Houston Astros/St. Louis Cardinals game with George and Barbara Bush in attendance. Other National Anthem performances followed at the Houston Compaq Center for the Aeros, Rockets, and Comets.
