Julia D'Angelo is a Toronto & New York based alternative singer-songwriter, actor, and multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans songwriting, performing, dance, choreography and filmmaking.

Blending acoustic and experimental production with offbeat lyricism, unconventional rhythmic phrasing, and smoky, resonant vocals, she has a knack for unconventional storytelling. Drawing inspiration from artists like Fiona Apple, Ani DiFranco, and Mitski for their socially conscious songwriting and sonic experimentation, D'Angelo pairs earnest subject matter with a visual world shaped by satire and unexpected playfulness.

D'Angelo's recent single "Thinking It Over" is a gritty, indie-pop track that arrived September 30th. Sonically, it "moves around from brooding, in-your-face guitar riffs to lush, ambient washed vocals" says D'Angelo, "in the same way, thematically, it bounces between the indecision of a relationship gone sour; that hazy in-between feeling of knowing something is wrong but it isn't over yet." With another single following this release, these tracks mark a transitional phase in her career as she prepares to release her debut album fall of 2027, leaning further into the experimental side of her sound.

A BFA acting graduate of The New School, D'Angelo has built a screen career in parallel with her music. Her lead roles in feature and short films include Take Care (dir. Cassidy Civiero), Sparks (dir. Fergus Campbell), Midwinter (dir. Ryan Balas), In Lieu Of Flowers (dir. Stacey Torkelson), Sorry You Have To See This (dir. Josh Leong) among others. Her full list of credits can be found here. She has also appeared in commercial campaigns for Meta, Starbucks, and more. Across both disciplines, she wrote and performed original songs for the independent films Midwinter (2025) and Mae (2022), with additional music synced in the TV drama Hidden Family Secrets (2024).

D'Angelo's creative practice is rooted in over twenty years of dance training, specializing in contemporary movement, which she regularly folds into her own projects and music videos. That physicality carries into her visual world, where satire and unexpected comedy tell stories that might otherwise feel too heavy. The music video for her song Kathmandu (2023), for example, plays with the idea of imagining a different life, following a pursuit that takes an unexpected turn when the person she's after turns out to be taken. Framed through a playful "movie within a movie" trope and drawing heavily from Scorsese's After Hours, the video leans into a distinctly grungy, '80s New York aesthetic. It was featured on Kodak Film's official Instagram and YouTube playlist and was nominated for Best Film at the 2024 Miami International Film Festival.

That energy also comes through in D'Angelo's live shows. She is equally at home playing a stripped-back solo set, where intimacy leaves room for her voice, songwriting, and dry, off-the-cuff banter, or stepping into a fuller, more energetic sound with her band. D'Angelo has performed throughout Toronto and New York at venues and festivals including NXNE, Departure, Mercury Lounge, El Mocambo, Bowery Electric, The Cameron House, The Rivoli, The Pilot, and more. Featured in Earmilk, Atwood Magazine, Indie Music Discovery, and Amplify Music Mag, D'Angelo has spent six years steadily releasing music, including the EPs “Collector” (2024) and Night Before (2021) alongside a handful of singles.
