Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes. Around The Portland Metro Area. I live for live. You don't get the best of me , until you see me live. That's where you can show how strong you sing! Improvise, extend long high notes, mack with the audience...lol..I love live! Many , Many special moments. Every live performance is special to me , seriously. I've lived in many cities, and I've sang in churches,and clubs. I love it. I remember the faces of people I sang directly to sometimes, and they'll see me out and about, and come up to me with praise. I like that uncomfortable, nervous, special,and satisfied feeling I get when people push up on me ,and shoot me compliments after an event. Especially when you know you put it down! It makes all of the hours you took to write, rehearse, record..etc...makes it all worth it! All live moments are special.
Your musical influences
Too many to list. I have a very diverse music appetite.My influences, are not necessarily reflected in my singing' style(s) either. I love all the greats in every Genre!
What equipment do you use?
My DAW is Mac Based. I'm using a Focusrite Saffire Pro 56 Audio Interface, M-Audio Axiom Air 25 Midi Controller, Roland Fantom X8, a few guitars, JBL Pro 3 series Monitor speakers, and I swap them sometimes with Behringer Truth B2031 Monitors because they have a floatier mid range, can't describe what i mean better than that sorry, i use a few differnt mics, Behringher B1, is my fav, but i also like AKG P220 for some stuff, still got all my Shures, prefer them for anything liveHands Down! We have live drums , but i use Ableton Live 9 for alot of beats these days, and drums are mainly for live , and i'm sure i'm forgetting some stuff, but you get the gist.
Anything else?
angie Wize, "Tha Chick That Does It All", Is doing it All Again There was a time that angie Wize had 700,000 people who had visited her website at WizeRecords.com, and the various 3rd party websites that showcased her music. In 2007, thousands of people downloaded a song she recorded raw called "It's nuthin'" which was chosen as The Editors pick at Indie-Music.com. Also that year, "Songs of The Year" acknowledged her raw recording, "Do It Now". Those 2 free raw mp3 demo downloads were played on various Internet Radio Stations. Her label, Wize Records, received a royalty check , and as of yet she hasn't released a commercial/official CD, or Single of either song. angie Wize dipped out, choosing to focus on parenting. She also suffered numerous setbacks due to a hacker who had infiltrated her DAW. She had a very traumatic journey, and as a result of a malicious hacker, she lost dozens of beats, and songs that she made to be sold online. Wize survived some very sad circumstances, and hails from a childhood littered with facts that move many to tears. Much of her lyrics reflect that existence. She is an artist that refelects the dark and light within us all. Writing songs that draw attention to the pains of life while not wallowing in it. It's not unusual for her lyrics to make you think, laugh, reflect, and grow, and it is still clear that she is an Indie artist that will always be voted least likely to ever sign a deal with a major. She has a warm face, however, she has a tough independent nature, and a stubborn propensity of doing things for herself and by herself. She is married to Macy Gray's beloved Uncle Gregory Fisher, one of the funkiest drummers ever! Fish played drums with Thara Memory, on Thara's "Juke Music" Album. Newbies think of Thara merely as Esperanza Spaulding's Mentor. One could easily assume that with personal access to music industry heavy hitters like Macy Gray, and Thara Memory that angie could easily get some strings pulled, or at the very least get help so that she doesn't have to perform so many different tasks. However, angie Wize is a true Indie Hip Hop, R&B, and Rap artist , who chooses to do it on her own! She is very resourceful like the crow on her record labels logo, and the baby chick crow on her "chick that does it all" tagline egg logo. Wize truly seems to embody the spirit of the crow. Like the crow, she has a wicked sense of humor, gives a scolding call when a predator or threat approaches, i.e. in the way of writing lyrical messages that warn, inform, or enlighten her listener, and like the crow, she adapts globally. Wize had listeners in Russia, and Japan. Far from Portland, Oregon, the place she she resided in when she made those songs and put them on the web. Like the crow, Wize is a bit rough around the edges , intelligent, aggressive, misunderstood, exceptionally observant, strong, and underappreciated. People are already implying that because of the various musicians that she has access too that she can't miss in her quest to regain hundreds of thousands of listeners. The truth is Wize had opportunities to sign with a major long before she had access to this new circle of successful musicians. Wize was active in The American Federation of Musicians, and is known for being very supportive of other artists. Wize made beats for others and gave them away, recorded and re-mixed songs for free. She was, and is, a naturally likeable artist. "angie Wize, Tha Chick That Does It All" ,is back, and she is back doing it the same way she did before. On her own! She is currently re-building her websites for WizeRecords.com, and angieWize.com, is actively posting in her Hip Hop Gumbo blog again, creating new 3rd party accounts at websites that showcase Indie Music. She is updating the old 3rd-party sites she had music at, and she never stopped writing lyrics! She currently is recording in the new DAW she built. She is recording for a new podcast, recording songs, producing beats, and has also picked up her guitar, an instrument she had put down in order to play the keyboard over a decade ago. She had to upgrade from a PC based analog workstation to a Mac based DAW. She bought her equipment piece by piece while driving a city bus. She had to learn a new operating system, new audio production programs , web designing programs, and during this time she kept composing new material, taking guitar lessons from Terry Robb, the award winning fingerstyle picking acoustic blues guitarist, and blues historian. Sidenote:Terry Robb and Gregory Fisher also jammed together on the CD "Acoustic Blues Trio", and a few other releases as well. angie Wize has evolved as an artist, now rapping while playing the guitar, still singing songs purposed for making one think, while dancing, and she still is an artist that adheres to being true to herself. Refusing to perform half naked, and rap about topics that are degrading to women.
