A Bit About Me…
As a child, I spent countless hours singing. We even had a karaoke machine at home, with which I tape-recorded my original compositions. I was always the first to sign up for a school talent show and spent weekends recording in my brother’s bedroom studio, where he came up with my stage name of “M-Angel.”
Early Days
Besides bedroom compositions, I was a singer in my friends’ rap group called Mic Être in high school. We recorded and performed a couple of songs. Good times…
Around that time, my brother and I started producing music, and continued well into my early College days. Surrounded by his musician friends (rappers and beat makers), I continued to write songs and feature on other artists’ tracks.
Dark Light
In 2008, after introducing my ex, Ovela, to music production, we formed the duo Freedom of Speech, which later evolved into Dark Light.
After producing many great singles over the years, we released our first (20-track) multi-genre album, Loin de toi (French for “far from you”), in 2015. I produced a few music videos for the band and even performed on stage with dancers. We disbanded in 2018.
Listen to “Loin de toi” and other Dark Light tracks on…
Dancing & Going Solo
Producing, managing, and promoting a band while having a full-time job became taxing. I stopped singing and started dancing… again (I was part of dance troops in grade school).
After performing a few shows with dancers from the MusiQon dance troop, I took classes with them before ultimately integrating the troop. We performed Hip-Hop and Afrobeat choreographies for a variety of events throughout Montreal.
Life happened, and I eventually started singing again by producing covers as a solo artist. One day, I was presented with the opportunity to sing at a Birthday party. This was my introduction to singing for events, which is what I now do!
Let’s add a soundtrack to your special day!
