Although Angel has been involved in the entertainment and music business for most of her young life, her solo career has not followed the standard path.

At age 15, Angel felt ready to leave No Secrets and start a solo career. She made a management deal with Ron Clapper, a businessman and family friend. Although Clapper had no experience in the music industry, he had achieved success with several companies that produce products ranging from commercial signage Commercial signage identifies a business or similar entity, assists in wayfinding and attracts customers.

Knowing the importance of a strong visual identity, Clapper sought a creative agency to develop materials that would communicate the caliber of his client. While attending a Cher Farewell Tour concert, he discovered Chase Design Group.

Clapper instantly knew the agency that developed the Cher Farewell Tour Book had the style sense and expertise necessary to visually communicate Angel's identity. After one meeting the deal was set, and Chase Design Group has been the agency of record since mid-2003.

He decided on Luck Media and Marketing, headed by Steve Levesque. Through Steve, Ron was able to assemble a comprehensive team of experienced A&R, Radio Promotion, Distribution, and Club Promotion professionals to support Angel's push toward the pop charts.
