Angelic Montero’s sound is heavily influenced from her Latin background. Her voice effortlessly blends cultures together and it shows in her music. We spoke with Angelic about her musical influences, artists she loves and her new mixtape that’s been out.
How has your Venezuelan influence had an impact on the songs you create and music?
Angelic: I was born and raised in Miami in a Latin community with Venezuelan parents, so I have a natural feel for Latin music and LOVE it - BUT this project You Get Me? My mixtape is an R & B throwback of flips from the late nineties and early 2000s.
Tell me about You Get Me?
Angelic: You Get Me? Is a mixtape of late nineties early 2000’s R & B classics that we flipped and made our own…
What was your favorite track you've created?
Angelic: My favorite track would have to be "Sometimes".
Which are you the most proud of?
Angelic: I am most proud of the track “Y U Wanna”. I grew so much recording this track - vocally. I really learned how to use my voice in a different way and I’m pretty proud of myself.

Angelic: I’ve become a dobie mom - yep I have a Serbian Doberman called Pluto I also enjoy surfing, skateboarding, playing video games and I am one of the biggest shopaholics you will ever meet!!

"At 15 years old, I begged my mom to take me to Walmart to get Taylor Swift's debut deluxe album and I never turned back. This was my very first entry point to stan fandom. Growing up in Memphis, Tennessee I was exposed to a ton of music - from rapping 3 6 Mafia to bopping to Justin Timberlake's solo discography. Now, in LA have a day job working in nonprofit development, but by night, I'm a full-fledged fangirl. I'll listen to generally any genre, but I'm a sucker for a good pop song. If you ever need someone to scream sing Carly Rae Jepsen's E·MO·TION with, I'm your girl. No, I still have not gotten over the One Direction hiatus. Please continue to respect my privacy.
