Angeles is not new to the world of online music-making.
She moved to Persicope shortly after, taking donations, before eventually finding her home on Twitch.
Today, she plays to an audience of thousands taking cover requests, improvising, and playing original music.
Starting off on a tiny Casio keyboard playing music by ear, she would spend hours learning the keys.
Her family recognized her talent from an early age.
However, she recalls her parents seeing her music as little more than a hobby.
Not something to financially support her life.
“I came to the States, went to New York, and worked at a hedge fund.
No one even knew I could play piano.”
Now they know, though getting there proved to be a slow burn.
Conventional wisdom suggests Twitch is a space for young adults and teenagers, but not Angels_Piano.
She cherishes the ability to touch people on such a deep level through music.
So, when I finished music school I didnt touch a piano for 10 years.
“I play everything by ear, so I dont need to know a song.
The future for Angels_Piano is an expansive one.
Angeles is a multitalented performance artist with a community waiting for her to take her next steps into superstardom.
