âI want to relate to people in their most vulnerable state; to inspire people most scarred.â
â Angel Snow

When Angel Snow sings, she hands her heart to the listener. Onstage she pours out raw emotion through honest and introspective music. Her unique sound--classic Americana folk coupled with a modern edge--provides a soulful backdrop for lyrics based on everything from personal experiences to vivid dreams. The result of this heartfelt songwriting is a labor of love, her debut album, Fortune Tellers.

It was one year ago when Angel settled in Nashville, another step toward running down her lifelong dream of sharing her music. She had spent five years traveling and performing all over the country, her voice bringing to life venues in New York, Wyoming, Montana, Pennsylvania, California, Chattanooga, and Atlanta.

Musical talent came naturally and easily to Angel growing up in tiny Chickamauga, Georgia. It was an elementary school homework assignment to write a song that gave her a first glimpse at her lifeâs path. Songwriting soon grew to be Angelâs most passionate artistic outlet. She recalls, âIt was the only way I could truly know and find out who I was. The only way I could express myself. Itâs everything to me.â At age 15 she began playing guitar and putting music with the lyrics she had been working on for years. It was in high school that Angel began playing in talent competitions and anywhere else she was given the opportunity.

Angel, the youngest of three siblings, was named by her older brothers, who were five and three when she was born. Growing up, her brothers influenced her love for all kinds of music with their own varied tastes. While one brother liked Sarah MacLachlan and classical music, the other brother brought home CDs by Faith No More and The Cure. Angel was influenced by all these styles and continues to embrace all genres, listing Tom Waits, Robert Smith, Thom Yorke, Otis Redding and Frank Black as her own favorite musicians.

Today the 26-year-old works constantly and diligently on her musical career. Still, every talented songwriter needs a day job until their first break and Angelâs work is a testament to her strong character. She is a kind and selfless caretaker who works daily with people with special needs. In this role, she has helped elderly and mentally challenged patients, and currently serves at a school for children and teenagers with developmental problems and disorders.

Her songs are her gift and she strives to use her music to relate to listeners on a personal level. âMy heart is truly in the music,â Angel says. No fortune teller needed to predict where her career is goingâall the way to the top.
