Angel Bat Dawid, a clarinetist, composer, and vocalist, is a radiant force within the modern experimental music scene, notably weaving threads from the rich tapestry of Black music traditions. Based in Chicago, Angel has established herself as an avant-garde visionary deeply rooted in spiritual jazz and the legacy of the Great Black Music tradition. Her work is a synthesis of gospel, soul, and the blues, channeled through her prodigious talents as both a performer and a storyteller.

Angel's compositions are often poignant reflections of her studies in ethnomusicology and her passionate activism in matters of social justice, particularly within the context of the African diaspora. She burst into greater prominence with her 2019 album "The Oracle," which was recorded entirely on her own using a multiplicity of layered sounds. This set the stage for her subsequent releases, such as the electrifying "LIVE" album, which showcases the spontaneous energy of her performances, and "Hush Harbor Mixtape Vol. 1 Doxology," where she weaves historic narratives into her music. Further demonstrating her versatility, Angel Bat Dawid also delves into remix arts, as evinced in "Motherless Child (Angel Bat Dawid Mothership Child Sankofa Re-Mix)," reinterpreting classic spirituals through an avant-garde lens. As an artist, she is committed not only to the exploration of sound but to the transformative power of music as a tool for healing and communal uplift.
