She glows, sparkles, and shines wherever she is present.

Memphis music legends baptized and verified TANGELA at a young age, as she studied under the tutelage of soul music icons at the city’s STAX Academy of Music. The spirit of Memphis — the tension, hustle, grind, grit, and flair — are evident in the Berklee College of Music graduate’s products.
