Country/Roots recording artist and songwriter Angela Harris grew up in the rustic rural Chilcotin region of BC, Canada and currently resides on the North Shore of Vancouver, BC. Born in to music, her love for Folk, Country and Bluegrass music began at the early age of nine when she started singing harmonies for her mother. By the time Harris was thirteen she was playing the guitar and writing songs. Six years later she was fronting her first band playing at rodeo's, banquets, weddings, bars and festivals. Throughout the 90's Harris commuted between her home in BC, Canada and Nashville, TN where she honed her craft of songwriting and collaborated with hit songwriters such as Ron Harbin, Richard Wold and Cyril Rawson. "I headed to Nashville, TN for the first time in 1992 with my guitar and a suitcase full of demos and I came out of that journey a decade later, addicted to everything music", says Harris. To date Harris has released three full length albums, Angela Harris, Roots & Is Your Life as it Should Be and two singles Family Matters and Lets Go For A Ride, garnering her 24 award nominations for categories such as Female Vocalist of the Year (BCCMA), SOCAN Songwriter of the Year (BCCMA), and an Outstanding Roots Album nod from the Western Canadian Music Awards. She was awarded the BCCMA Roots/Canadiana Award in 2011 and celebrates a list of charting singles at radio and the licensing of her work to film.
