Angus Powell is a Welsh singer, musician, songwriter and music producer.
Career[edit]
Sending his music out to anyone he could, it came to the attention of Los Angeles-based film and television sync agent, Danny Benair (also formerly of The Quick and other power pop acts) who started to send his music out to music supervisors, with great reactions.[1][2] At the same time, Powell's music was heard by emergent Halogen Media, who signed Powell and released his debut EP Monsters, the title track being used in worldwide TV shows Elementary (CBS),[3][better source needed] Kingdom (Audience Network) and the indie film Go North and another EP track "Hole In My Heart" being used in Bones (Fox), Finding Carter (MTV)[4] and Idris Elba film 100 Streets.[5]
Whilst Powell recorded his debut album with Paul Moessl producing[1] awareness of Angus Powell's music grew with KCRW in Los Angeles featuring "Monsters" as their Top Tune,[6] and Paste Magazine premiered the video.[7]
Halogen then followed up the EP with the release of his debut album, Before the Grey on 29 September 2017.[8][9]
