![]() That’s why today I stand for people doing what they love. I was attracting things that matched the love I had for what I was doing. And it all worked out better then I could’ve imagined. It was very scary at first, but the love I had for singing superseded the fear of the unknown. When I came back, I quit my job and declared I was going to start singing. It was as if I was chasing one external high after the next, but nothing lasted. I was once asked what the scariest moment in my career was… I was in the corporate world and had a well-paying job and a comfortable life. And other memorable events like the NFL Hall of Fame Party, NFL Celebrity Super Bowl Party, NFL National Anthem, NCAA Final Four VIP Night and Radio Stations Shows. I’ve performed around the globe opening for acts such as American Authors, Train and Starship. I guess that’s why I have such passion around it, it’s like an acceptable way to scream. It’s where I channel all the pent-up energy. ![]() It never really felt like a choice, music was just sort of in my bones. I’m not sure of where the passion for singing came from, but I recall being drawn to music at a very young age. I don’t hold back and that tends to pull people into my experience. I was Inspired by an eclectic array of music and I’m most known for my powerful and emotional vocal stylings. There’s a lot of depth in this album that’s easy for people to relate to. It’s basically a journal that was translated into music. I recently released my Debut Album “Heartbreak Mixtape”. ~AngelaĬan you open up a bit about your work and career?

Perhaps it was a bonus gift for the courage it took to follow my heart. I remember thinking, “I totally would’ve done this for free.” Balance organically showed up in my life as a result of doing what I Ioved. The first time I got paid for it I could barely believe it was real. But once I discovered what I loved to do there was so much flow involved. There were times that I questioned my sanity because I was coloring outside the lines that the security of logic provides. I’m a walking testament that it is possible to play for a living. But what if it was yes?! Wouldn’t that be the master key to this thing we call life? If I could do what I loved for a living wouldn’t that have a ripple effect that would impact so many other areas of my life? Yes. Is it possible to play for a living? I figured I could always go back to “the grind” if it turned out to be no. And there was… In short, I left it all in search for the answer to my question. Monday through Friday was stressful and that was the majority of my life! There had to be more. At the time, I had what I thought to be a high paying corporate job (high for a youngster anyway), and I suddenly realized that the ability to buy a lot of things wasn’t as fulfilling as I thought. Is it possible to “play” for a living? It was my curiosity that seemed to be the magic ingredient that allowed for the discovery. I asked what I deem to be a very valuable question. I suppose this is where the journey began for me. I think this is important, lest we find ourselves within the walls of conformity that can often feel like a prison.

I was a bit of a rebel at an early age so I would often do the opposite of what I was told. It’s as if society sets us up to think that what we do to make income needs to be hard or a grind. The word “work” in it of itself is worth a ponder. ![]() Hi Angela, how has your perspective on work-life balance evolved over time?
