Tangela Hamilton

A well-rounded and cultured songwriter and vocalist who easily captivates her audience with her gaping vocal range and impeccable writing ability, Tangela Hamilton was born and raised in Commerce, Texas, a one horse town just east of Dallas, Texas. It was at a very young age where she sang in the Sunshine Band, the youth choir at Bethel Temple Church of God in Christ along with all over her equally talented cousins and other family members. Tangela, surrounded by her very musically inclined family and rich musical upbringing, embraced the gift of song. Soon after, it was discovered that that her own voice carries a uniqueness that cannot be denied. Tangela, though unique in her own right, has a sound that blends with the likeness of her influences such as Chaka Khan, Maysa Leak, Angie Stone, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu and Rachelle Ferrell. 

In humble beginnings, Tangela sang with her talented family gospel choir, Third Generation, where she developed an ear for abstract harmony and was often relied upon to develop vocal arrangement within the group. From that group, a breakout sect with her three first cousins was birthed called LadyLyke where they recorded and performed original pop and R&B songs rich with harmonious vocal arrangements and a mature sound far beyond their years. 

During her pursuit as a professional vocalist, Tangela has recorded and performed as both a solo artist and a background vocalist. She kept her avant-garde style of writing on tap and recorded her first single, “Come See About Me,” by which all lyrics and vocals originated from her exclusively. More recordings, such as “Sexy Ladies’ Cat Call – The Anthem” followed as well as more performance opportunities with radio jingle contests, beauty pageants and local and regional shows. One of Tangela’s defining moments as an artist was singing on the soundtrack of the Merv Griffin movie production, “Rain” featuring super iconic stars as Faye Dunaway, Giancarlo Espositio, Brooklyn Sudano, Erika Alexander and Robert Loggia. Tangela embarked on her acting talents as well, with also having a background role in the same movie. She gained national attention from her role as Stacy Hammond in the reality show “Cheaters,” where her episode with the car wash scene (Season 8 Episode 6) was selected on E!’s The Soup as number 13 of E!’s Best Reality Show Episodes of All Time. 

Ready to take her career to higher heights, Tangela decided to make a break for the bright lights of New York and moved from Texas to the East Coast on Father’s Day 2013 with her daschund Nat Nat in tow. Shortly after arriving, Tangela began her first project in which her first single, “Bright Light Show” details her journey from her humble beginnings from Texas on her trek to the Big City in search of her dreams. 

In September 2015, Tangela was awarded membership into The Recording Academy, also known as The Grammys, as well as an executive membership into The Songwriting Hall of Fame.

Tangela has also launched Alegnat Publishing and is partnering with industry movers and shakers as she propels full throttle to become a world-renowned songwriter of many genres.
