Sign of Angelo
Bio
Sign of Angelo, the brainchild of George, began as a solo venture after his formative years as one-half of the electro duo Muchuu. At just 18, George and his sister Milky gained critical acclaim, catching the attention of tastemakers like Tom Robinson, Huw Stephens, and Nick Grimshaw in 2011. Their tracks were named 'Record of the Week' on BBC Radio 1, and the duo amassed a dedicated global fanbase, and even a mention in NME magazine. However, in 2012, the band disbanded, leaving fans keen for more.Determined to create his own sound, George transitioned into a solo artist while simultaneously working as a film creator and soundtrack composer. His passion for songwriting and lyrical depth became the foundation of his next chapter. Over nearly a decade, George poured his experiences - love, loss, family, grief, and joy - into crafting the distinct sound of Sign of Angelo. This journey was also fuelled by his dissatisfaction with modern chart music, which he felt often lacked meaningful messages and was getting a bit bored of artists feeling the need to shake their butt in your face to accompany the music.The pandemic in 2020 brought a sense of urgency to George’s creative process to finally complete a debut album. Collaborating remotely with fellow musicians, recording vocals in unconventional spaces like a cupboard, and using every available moment, he completed his debut album, 'To the Human'. Just weeks after sharing his music publicly, Sign of Angelo was named Artist of the Week by BBC Introducing Hereford and Worcester.Released on July 16, 2021, 'To the Human' is a sophisticated sonic experience. Written and produced entirely by George, the album retains the ethereal charm of Muchuu while introducing a more mature and poetic lyrical perspective. Each listen reveals new depths, and fans have likened his work to Francis and the Lights, Jónsi, Sigrid, Bastille, Imogen Heap, and M83. A visual storyteller at heart, George brought his music to life with homemade videos that blend creativity with simplicity.The album resonated deeply with fans:- “Thank you so much for making this album.”
- “It’s amazing. I full-on cried to the song ‘Son.’”
- “Perfect for gazing out the window as the trees rush by. And it made me cry.”
- “Freaking brilliant! I’m hooked!”Encouraged by the album’s reception, George continued to evolve. Collaborating with local artists through BBC Introducing, he released several singles and, in May 2024, the 'These Sound Better in Summer' EP. This project once again earned him the title of Artist of the Week on BBC Radio.With over 18 years of experience in video production and graphic design, George creates all his artwork and music videos, ensuring that every aspect of Sign of Angelo is authentically his.George also doesn't take himself too seriously and would rather not talk about himself but try and make people laugh with a stupid 60 second video. See what I mean here...Discover the magic of Sign of Angelo, where every track is a story and every listen reveals something new. Dive into 'To the Human' and beyond - let the music speak for itself.
