She has most recently added Australia to her list of global performance accomplishments after spending a period of three years traveling to Sydney where she became active in the jazz community.&nbsp;In Chicago, Angel has been spotlighted&nbsp;on numerous morning shows, such as ABC 7’s Windy City Live and FOX 32’s Good Day Chicago and competed in top 5 standing in several televised vocal competitions. Recently she was featured on WGN-TV performing&nbsp;“God Bless America” and the National Anthem for the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Angel currently holds a steady schedule performing in various Chicagoland venues, as well as headlining Chicago’s finest jazz establishments such as The Green Mill, Andy’s Jazz Club, Winter’s Jazz Club, Room 43&nbsp;and The Jazz Showcase. Her experience and love for big band music has also provided her the opportunity as at the featured vocalist for the Pete Ellman Big Band, The Mulligan Mosacis, British Buddy Alumni Big Band and the Chicago Jazz Orchestra.
