One of my favourite artists is Sirach Charles formally known by his stage name 'Angel'.
I have decided to research him as he is a very current and local artist who I believe to be extremely talented.

25 year old Angel is a singer, song writer, rapper, multi instrumentalist and producer from West Londons Shepherd's Bush who started singing at a very young age in a group with his brothers and sisters called 'The Charles Family'.
His hit single 'Wonderful' peaked at number 9 on the UK singles
chart and topped the UK R&B Chart.
When the group decided to go their own ways, Sirach managed to land himself a publishing deal with Universal as a song writer and has written many songs (even some number 1's!) for major artists such as Rihanna, Pixie Lott, Wiley, Roll Deep and many others.

Angel released his first mixtape 'Patience is a virtue' in 2010 which included popular tracks such as 'take my place' and 'forget about it'.
During 2011 Angel released two more mixtapes'7 Minutes Before Time' and 'Any Minute Now' which included features such a Wretch 32 and up coming artist Cleo Sol.
More recently, on December 24th Angel released his latest mix tape 'In between time' as an early christmas present for his fans which included features from Wiley, Giggs, A-star, Cherise Roberts and many more.
Late last year Sirach was given the opportunity to perform at UK's MOBO Awards. His performance included a live band and special effects which got the crowd going and brought out a positive reaction from the audience.
Angel was also given the opportunity to feature on the children in need song 'Wish I belonged' which sales helped to raise money for the charity and bring forth awareness.

Angel playfully interacted with the audience and then opened the show with his popular single 'Go in, Go Hard'. 'Popstar' and 'Raining Girls' wer'e also received with great excitement.
He took out time to thank the fans for the success of his number 1 single 'Wonderful' before cutting in with 'How can I loose' with Grand Hustles 'Chipmunk' stepping out onto the stage getting the crowd on their feet.
Energy levels just kept on rising when Sneakbo stepped on the stage to perform 'Ride out' one of Angels bests.
With Angels career still on a high from the success's of the past couple of years, Angels future in 2013 is looking bright with many surprises and the exciting news of his first Official Album 'About Time' coming out in March.

As a supporter I ensure to follow Angel on twitter allowing me to keep up to date with the latest details on single and album releases, tours, concerts etc. He also has a youtube channel where vlogs are frequently posted giving us an insight of the hard work that goes behind the music.
Through this I have come to find that angel frequently responds and interacts with fans by following, retweeting and holding contest to win 'Angel' merchandise (which is also a form of promotion and distribution). I will try and send some emails to see if he would be willing to answer a few questions for my media project.
Thanks for reading!
