Born and raised in South East London to Pakistani-Indian parents, ANGELI blends her British Asian heritage and love of alt rock/indie/pop punk to champion the voice of the outsider and question the status quo. The result is a refreshing marriage of cultures and social commentary which offers a much needed respite from the current musical landscape.

Genre-bending, FRESH
If it does, how does your heritage impact your art?
There's not enough stories about the immigrant experience and sociopolitics in the mainstream and those are the things I enjoy writing about the most. I write the music I would have wanted to hear when I was younger and struggled with identity and belonging. This is something I think everyone can relate to on some level.
My music fuses the two parts of my identity; being an emo kid at heart and my Indian heritage, adding these influences into my sound throughout.

Master Peace because he's bringing 00s indie back on the map and Hyphen for the political bangers!
