About The Artist

Marianne Angell is a prolific and emotive songwriter, pianist, and blogger who embraces every bit of the empowering and connecting nature of what she creates. She is a pop/rock/soul artist with an eclectic style who writes songs about the things she knows and about the struggles we all witness in modern society, which gives her a powerful authenticity. Born Marianne Angell Van Valkenburg, she goes by her middle name because it derives from the Greek word for “messenger”. Her latest release, Lies, is an honest and revealing song cycle that hints at deeply personal issues like divorce, infertility, and raising a family. The sound is confident and bold, a hand held out to others through shared experience. 

Angell has already drawn comparisons to Adele and Florence and the Machine but her individuality and vulnerability keep her music in its own artistic space. Her life as an emerging blogger also sets her apart from other performers. She uses that platform to discuss the issues behind her songs and to build bridges to other women seeking an understanding voice. Her intention is to help people with her words and music, to show them they’re not alone. Angell’s tone is lyrically and musically heavy compared to many other songwriters but it’s this intensity and unwillingness to flinch that deliver the lifeline she has to offer the world.
