Angie K
Angie K joins Ben to talk about how her El Salvadorian roots and her upbringing in Georgia have both influenced her music, and the joy of being an independent artist and growing your audience organically. Angie tells us the stories behind some of her most transportative songs like Laredo, and how living in El Salvador as a child was both beautiful and dangerous. She gets emotional speaking about the full circle moment she had thanks to her choir teacher, and speaks openly and honestly about being a gay artist in Country music. Angie also shares stories from some of the happiest times in her life when she worked on a cruise ship and how that inevitably led to her meeting her wife, as well as what it was like singing in front of her childhood hero on The Voice!
Angie K’s new album is set to drop on May 29, 2026, so listen to the end to hear how you can get free UK/AUS shipping on a very special vinyl edition of her new record.
