A so-called musical Renaissance girl, Angel
Foss is a truly courageous, articulate and independent artist merging
her song-writing, performing, engineering, and producing talents.
Her sophisticated bravura reflects the combined influences of her
lofty role models such as: Sarah McLachlan, Amiee Mann, Joni Mitchell,
PJ Harvey, Kristen Hersh, and Chrissie Hynde. Angel’s inimitable
performance will touch the heart and intrigue the mind. Her deep
and resonant songs create an ambiance that gives the listener a
multi-sensory experience; to not just hear her music, but to become
absorbed in the textures and imagery.
A pianist and songwriter since age seven, Angel has naturally matured
her technique through both formal education and hands-on experience.
She instinctually records new material in her own studio, playing
most instruments and self-producing each track. Angel enjoys collaborating
with other musicians, songwriters, producers, and engineers, absorbing
knowledge and experience to hone her writing and recording skills.
Her music is a genuine reflection of her unique and evolved sound

2006 debut CD, “The Olive Collection v2.0,” set with
nine gems that scream HITMAKERS! She is currently in the studio
recording her 10 newest songs, set to be called "The Violet
Collection." There is an undeniable continuity with rich
lyrical hooks in this collection. Her diary-like lyric style combines
