Angel Haze

Angel Haze lends logic to contradictions because she is full of them: she’s as confident as she is shy, and as proud as she is humble; she’s the most weathered rookie and the most reclusive social butterfly that you’ll ever get the chance to talk to. Like many, she’s a self-proclaimed breath of fresh air for those who appreciate music with actual substance. However, unlike most of her peers, she actually has the talent to back up the claim.
