About Angela Muñoz

Angela Munoz (born November 27, 2001) is an American soul singer-songwriter from Los Angeles. At the age of 5, she discovered her distinctive voice and was considered an “Old Soul.” Her inspiration came from her musical home, whereby her parents shared old music videos on VHS. Muñoz recalls Guns N' Roses' “Welcome to The Jungle” as the catalyst that sparked her desire to become a star. She began to play instruments such as guitar and piano. With practice, the budding star began to dominate singing competitions, leaving unexpected audiences in a trance. Throughout the years, she trained herself by attending a performing arts middle school and high school in the heart of Los Angeles. There, she became obsessed with collecting new and old vinyl. Many of the artists were introduced to her by her older brother (writing partner) Brandon Muñoz. As an avid music collector, artists such as Nirvana, Donny Hathaway, Erykah Badu, A Tribe Called Quest and Cortex began to make an imprint on her sound. A few years ago, her brother introduced her to Something About April, a record produced by Adrian Younge. The quality of the music left her intrigued. She thought it would be interesting to create a project that encompassed various perspectives, as Younge provides with his analog recordings. Shortly thereafter, she serendipitously found herself working with The Midnight Hour, a group comprised of Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest). In 2018, they debuted her song “Bitches do Voodoo” on their eponymously titled album The Midnight Hour; they also took Angela on tour, featuring her on NPR’s Tiny Desk. At 18 years old, she finally released her debut project Introspection on Linear Labs in 2020, entirely produced by Younge, and included the singles "Top Down" and "So Young. Four years later, Muñoz signed to Stones Throw Records, planning to release her EP Descanso on August 16, 2024.
