Gelli Haha

Gelli Haha is an experimental pop artist known for her playful yet profound sonic style that blends off-kilter pop with a quirky, theatrical edge. Raised in Boise, Idaho, Gelli Haha (Angel Abaya) got her start in the vibrant local music scene, participating in numerous bands and even a performing arts dance company before moving to Los Angeles to expand her creative horizons. Her work is characterized by a joyful chaos and duality—tongue-in-cheek yet sincere, silly but emotionally resonant.

Her debut album *Switcheroo*, set for release in June 2025 on Innovative Leisure, showcases her unique creative vision, featuring analog effects and a deliberately imperfect, playful sound texture. The album invites listeners into the "Gelliverse," a sensory adventure filled with quirky imagery and performance art, where tracks like “Bounce House” and “Funny Music” balance childlike innocence with underground grit. Gelli Haha is not just a musician but a shapeshifting performer who blends sonic experimentation with a lively, eclectic stage presence that encourages participation and surrender to the experience.
