For the versatile singer-songwriter Angel Hill, making music is all about listening to your instincts. The Missouri-born, Florida-raised artist mixes up-tempo club pop and soulful R&B with trap beats, following his intuition across a spectrum of styles instead of limiting himself to one genre box. What brings it all together is his striking voice, as sensitive as it is smooth, effortlessly sliding between a quiet storm falsetto and nimble rap cadence. Angel’s up coming album When I Die, Who Was I? is the product of tuning out all the noise, trusting his own instincts, and listening to his emotional truth. It’s not just Angel’s one-of-a-kind voice, but his emotional vulnerability that has caught the attention of both listeners and influential musical minds such as Timbaland and Scott Storch. In many ways, Angel’s diverse sound is the product of the places he’s lived: growing up in Missouri, his first loves were country music and Nelly’s Country Grammar, and hip-hop became a fixture of his life after living in Florida. After relocating to Los Angeles and dipping his toes into the industry, Angel learned the ins-and-outs of audio production and sound mixing as an engineer, which gave him the technical know-how to mold his sound and sharpen his voice beyond raw talent. That audio skillset has made Angel Hill more than just a stunning voice, but a total-package artist, who takes vulnerable emotion and transforms it into afully realizedmusicalexperience.

To clear his head from the pressures of the commercial game, Angel relocated back to his Missouri homeland and moved in with an uncle. Instead of a professional studio, the only place he had to write and record music was the bedroom of his cousin Savannah. In the safe space of that bedroom, Angel could really listen to his emotions like never before, without any distractions or demands, channeling his heartbreak into his most sensitive and self-reflective music yet. Though Angel’s songwriting often starts with slow and sad lyrics, he puts an up-tempo twist on emo soul, his falsetto crooning over house beats, trap drums, and groovy basslines, made for crying in the club. He mixes the lonesome fiddle wails and tearful pedalsteel of the country music of his youth with the emo-trap of his present. Above all else, it’s that feeling of universal connection that motivates Angel Hill to share his voice with the world; his goal isn’t just to share his own emotions, but to inspire others to better understand their own. From Savannah’s room to the world, Angel Hill sees music as an act of service, a hand extended in a shared journey of self-discovery between artist and audience
