ANGEL
line

ANGEL brings a sound that is both soulful, but with a modern feel. Growing up to the greats such as, The Motown Artists, Ella Fitzgerald, Tower of Power, Allman Brothers, Linda Ronstadt, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye, Billy Stewart, Hip Hop (thanks to her brothers) and too many others to name. This young Latina is very familiar with the sounds of soul that she so loved to hear.

Growing up in Lomita, a small town in Southern CA, she had many influences throughout her life when it came to music. She first set foot on stage at the tender age of 9 at a local carnival. She was a nervous wreck! However, with her father as a musician, and her mother and 3 older brothers as number one supporters, she overcame her fear, and sang "Ooh Baby, Baby" by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Ever since then, all she's ever dreamed about is making music that would bring out emotion in people through all walks of life. She says, " I remember the way it felt when people were cheering for me, this 9 year old little girl that was making people cry, but at the same time with huge smiles on their faces." It's that same emotion that drives her today.

Angel has been apart of a group called Legacy, a young pop-ish r&b group modeled after well known trio Immature, Legacy grew a great fan base touring throughout high schools and middle schools in California, Arizona and Nevada along with Immature. Now she has found Las Vegas her home and has experienced a tremendous increase in prestige following her performances throughout Las Vegas. She does mention this, in regards to performing in Las Vegas most elite casinos, "It's good practice."

She's ready for her voice to be heard and to share her stories with the world through song. Her music is genuine, passionate, and is intended to bring the hot party sounds and club hits!! Mixed with soulful beauty and sexy Latin lifestyle as she pours her heart out through music.

ANGEL was discovered once again by producer T-BOB, and after many years of watching the growth of ANGEL, says T-BOB, they crossed paths. And in 2009 ANGEL was signed to OFF BALANCE ENTERTAINMENT. So stay tuned for the long over due new debut album from this curvaceous latina songstress entitled “UNDENIABLE” the heat is on!!!

HOT ROD NIGHTMARE
line

The Story Behind The Nightmare... It all started in 2003 when Martin (lead vocalist & guitarist), Roman (bass) and Brandon (drums) met while working at the same dead end job. They were all in different bands but decided to do some shows together. After a year or two of doing nothing musically Martin called up Brandon to see if he was interested in starting a rockabilly band. They called up the best bass player they knew and long time friend Roman Ramirez to fill in on bass for awhile till they found an upright bass player. As soon as they started writing music they knew they had something good. Their Punk background blended nicely with the rockabilly style they loved so much. Roman got an upright bass and became a permanent member. After playing a couple of shows, they met some really good friends that helped them get some shows playing with great musicians like Lee Rocker, The Chop Tops, Three Bad Jacks, The Southerners, and other leading bands in the rockabilly scene. With the addition of guitarist Josh Johnson to the band, this brought great song writing and back up vocals. Hot Rod Nightmare was completed. After meeting T-Bob through an Off Balance Entertainment A & R, they knew they found the right person to produce their debut album. And so, "Signs of the Ages" was born.
