Details:
St. Ange is best described as a musical sponge thatâs been gathering melodic bits and pieces from Casio demo tracks to bebop licks and beyond. Their 11 track debut album, Second Nature, on which front lady, Angela Galuppo, takes her shiny new self-producing/lyricist/composer tricycle out for a ride, is a meeting ground where jazz and pop music collide and become instant BFFs. With the combined energy and musical influences of the 5 core members, St. Ange is the perfect addition to the neo jazz wave firing up the music scene. Drawing inspiration from new jazzers, Esperanza Spalding and Gretchen Parlato, Motown, singer/songwriters, epic 70's power ballads and the Montreal sound, St. Ange combines the vocal sensibilities of jazz with with a dreamy touch of pop. St. Ange is a place for pop kids and jazz nerds to say hi, dance, cry on each others shoulders and realize they have more in common than they ever could have imagined. 

Aside from her musical endeavors, St. Ange's Angela Galuppo has an active film and television career. Most recently, she joined the cast of Lifetimeâs new cop drama, 'Against the Wall,' and has a recurring role on the first season of Syfy's hit series, 'Being Human. ' A 2011 Montreal Actra Award nominee for 'Outstanding Voice Performance,' you can hear her and her many voices on a slew of animated kids shows and video games including: The Mysteries of Alfred Hedgehog, Doggy Dayschool, Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood. From 2002-2006 Galuppo was a member of the multi-award winning experimental theatre company, 'Gravy Bath Productions,' a Montreal-based collective dedicated to creating innovative and imaginative new works. In 2010 she received her B.F.A with Great Distinction, Specialization in Jazz Studies, from Concordia University and was the recipient of the 2007 Dr. Oscar Peterson Jazz Scholarship for performance.

âI've been singing forever because when I do, it feels natural. I can't help or deny it; it's the biggest part of me. With Second Nature, I let my ears and heart take a trip and I just tagged along for the ride. It led to a record that reflects the people I encounter and my influences all the while keeping things simple and honest.â
