Meet our May 2026 Artist of the Month
EddieAngel finds himself at the forefront of a new wave of R&B artists reshaping the sound of alternative soul in Austin and beyond. Fronted by singer-songwriter and seasoned vocalist Angel Estrada, the project has steadily built momentum through emotionally grounded lyricism and a growing local fanbase. Alongside him, the band consists of core members Marc Rene on guitar, Enrico De Cesare Leite on bass, Seth Sevilla on keys, and James Navarro on drums.
Following the international streaming success of his 2025 release “Holding On” with Tobias Lund, EddieAngel brings forth a new chapter with the CHICANO BLUES EP. Its lead single, “PAYASO,” led to an official SXSW debut, plus support from the legendary Grupo Fantasma, positioning Estrada as a rising voice fueled by deeply personal penmanship, all thoughtfully rooted in the Mexican experience as a native Austinite.
