about

Angela Vía (born December 29, 1981 as Angela Jolene Trullinger Villarreal) is an American singer/songwriter from Texas. Initially marketed as a pop artist, Angela’s catalog contains music of a variety of genres in both English and Spanish. Vía was born in Raymondville, Texas, to Tom Trullinger, of European-American and Native American ancestry, and Annie Villarreal, of Mexican and Spanish ancestry. During her early childhood, she grew close to her Mexican/American heritage, and often listened to the local Tejano music. Every day, Vía would lock herself in her room or take her boom box to the porch and practice singing for hours. She wrote her first song at the age of three. At the age of nine, Vía and her family moved to Gresham, Oregon, a suburb of the most populous city in the state, Portland, Oregon. It was here that she began singing in her school and church choirs, as well as discovering some of her favorite artists, BeBe & CeCe Winans and Kirk Franklin. This was when she began to gain a deeper connection to R&B and soul music. In 1996, Angela’s father took her to a studio to record some of her favorite songs at the time. Among these songs were Mariah Carey’s “Hero” and Selena Quintanilla’s “Amor Prohibido”. In 1997 her version of Whitney Houston’s "You Were Loved" appeared on a regional fund raising album. This led to performances at cultural and charity events throughout the city. In 1998 she won a talent show sponsored by a Portland radio station and was flown to L
