Welcome to Stones Throw, Angela Muñoz.
From a very young age, Angela Muñoz has followed her passion in music. As a child, she expressed creativity through songwriting, piano, and guitar. As a teen, she released her debut record Introspection, a collaboration with Adrian Younge. She joined The Midnight Hour, Younge’s group with Ali Shaheed Muhammad (of A Tribe Called Quest), and toured with them throughout the US at just 17 years old, including a performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk.
Angela’s Stones Throw debut is Descanso, an EP where she reflects on memories from her upbringing, looking back to her childhood and sharing feelings of loss and change. Written with her brother, the EP’s overarching theme is love in its various forms. It’s out August 16th.
When the time came to create her own music, Angela wanted to pay homage to her roots: her father arrived in L.A.’s Highland Park from Mexico in the ’70s, where he met her mother, of mixed Puerto Rican and Mexican heritage. Angela would often walk down Figueroa Street in Highland Park with her loving grandparents as a kid, passing Stones Throw’s HQ.
Stay tuned for more new music coming soon.
