We had the good fortune of connecting with Angel Roze and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Angel, why did you pursue a creative career?
For the longest I knew that I was a creative being I’ve been writing & recording all my life. It gives me a sense of peace and helps me balance my thoughts so I can get through what I’m going through at the time. As I get older I use my craft to help and speak on things that people may be going through or may need to hear to help them in their life.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I think I still have a long ways to go but I definitely am proud for how far I’ve come since I started. I’ve only been taking my music seriously for about a year now and everyday is a learning experience and process. The top thing I’ve learned and still have problems with is just going with the flow and being me. It doesn’t matter what the viewers have to say if you really love what your doing show it and don’t be scared to take it to the next level.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I travel but I would want to take them to Hawaii or a place where there is a lot of water. I want to only eat and drink fruit and vegetables grown from the island. Everything has to be organic unless it’s desert of course. I would want to explore wherever we go because I love spontaneous new adventures.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would love to shoutout artist and people who aren’t afraid to be themselves such as SZA, Kali Uchis, Doja Cat, Frank Ocean, Tyler the Creator, & many more. That’s just to name a few but these people really took the industry out of the box that it came in and showed a different side to music. I would also love to do the same as well as a trans-woman of color. It is my duty to shine and spread light on how much it means to just be yourself and love your own skin.
