Urban Angel Bio
When Markie D, Ed,Gemma G, and Gaz, decided to start a band, the issue of a name was first on the agenda. Because their music was rooted in the streets of Belfast, Ireland, the group¹s hometown, they knew ³urban² would be part of that name. The songs were a slice of hip-hop and pop, and the group¹s vocals ranged from street slang to angelic choir, so ³angels² completed the thought. And ³Urban Angel² was born.
The small crowd in the local pub where Urban Angel first performed heard songs that were slated to be signed to various publishing companies, both in Europe and the United States. But something told the group not to sign away songs that they felt could start their own career, so they took a chance and held onto the songs for themselves. The crowd¹s reaction on that first gig proved to the group that they had done the right thing. The response was overwhelming, and Urban Angel never looked back.
A new name for their style of music had to be found, too, because there was no existing category that precisely fit the Urban Angel sound. So, ³hipPop² was born, and they are known for starting the genre.
Urban Angel is now poised to perform globally and is seeking a record label to bring hipPop to the vast audience they¹re convinced will love this style of music.
