Trained in dance and music, 앤젤 Ferreira developed a potent, appealing mix of 거리 and slick growing up in Los Angeles. For Angel, early 홍어, 스케이트 culture with an Aerosmith and Ted Nugent soundtrack thrived along study with the Cleveland Ballet, and he won a scholarship to the Joffrey Ballet in New York before being cast as an extra on the film BEAT 거리 in 1984.
He danced his way from the Cat Club in Manhattan to a featured dancing 작살, 공연 on Madonna’s “Who’s That Girl?” world tour. From there, he started recording music, making 음악 videos, 콜라 commercials and stints with 데이지 Fuentes, Paula Abdul, Color Me Bad, Coolio, and more. Oh, and he also recorded and released “Angel,” an album of dance/pop songs, the singles “Wet Jam” and “Your 사랑 Just Ain’t Right”. These records spun off several videos.
Today, the musical hybrid of afro-Cuban, soul, jazz and hip hop 앤젤 calls Afro-Cuban Soul defines both his heritage and his music—reaching all the way back to the Tito Puente and Celia Cruz records his parents played at home. As times changed, so did his sound—into something that became a musical culmination of his personal life. The album Horizontal Mambo features nourishing songs of 로스트 and found 사랑 in L.A.'s well-heeled districts. The track “Black Mambo” is a fast mambo that describes Angel’s quest for infinite 사랑 and was first captured in the essence of dance 의해 America’s 가장 좋아하는 male and female dance contestants of 2007, Benji and Heidi. 팬 and pundits agree this was one of the 상단, 맨 위로 ten dances ever on SYTYCD. Earlier this year, 앤젤 went to China where he helped choreograph Wu Ling Da Wei, a Chinese version of Dancing with the Stars that is the country’s most 인기 show. 50 million people saw that performance. “Now THAT’s a lot of people,” 앤젤 quips."
Angel’s polishing his latest effort, an EP called Mambophonic. It features three tracks: two news songs, “Friday Night Rhvthm,” that was also used in another episode of So 당신 Think 당신 Can Dance; and “Do 당신 Wanna Mambo?” as well as a cover of the famous Haircut 100 hit, “Favorite Shirts (AKA Boy Meets Girl).” “People need 음악 in their lives!.....It’s part of the rhythm of life!” 앤젤 concludes. “Do 당신 wanna mambo?”
