About Angelina

email to request formal Press Release for 'i caved'

Bio:Perth-based alt-pop artist Angelina makes music that sits in the quiet space between heartbreak and hope — intimate songs that glow with the urgency of someone growing up in real time. At 18, she’s already carved out her own corner of Australia’s indie landscape, turning raw emotion into something melodic, cinematic, and impossible to shake. A WAM Song of the Year winner at 14 and a Top 8 finalist on Australian Idol at 15, Angelina has since earned recognition from the International Songwriting Competition and Unsigned Only USA Awards, building a reputation as one of the country’s most compelling young storytellers. Her sound drifts between alt-pop, dream-pop, and indie rock — think the emotional clarity of Lizzy McAlpine, the grit of Gigi Perez, the atmospheric pull of Thelma Plum and rawness of Esha Tewari.
With over 600k Spotify streams and performances for audiences of 12k at RAC Arena and over a million on primetime TV, her reach stretches beyond the stage. Her songs have found homes in Australian film projects, blurring the line between music and her acting world. Live, she’s magnetic — displaying wisdom and maturity beyond her years, with a voice that's angelic yet powerful, drawing audiences into something that feels personal, confessional, and beautifully human.
