Artist Spotlight: Angeloo 🎤
Angel Gerardo Covarrubias Cabrera, known by his stage name Angeloo, is an extraordinary 11-year-old singer from Puerto Vallarta. His musical journey began at the tender age of 5, when he first discovered his passion through the popular game Fortnite. Immersed in the game’s musical culture, he taught himself to sing “Love Scenario” by the South Korean boy band iKon, impressively performing the song in Korean.
Despite taking a detour to focus on taekwondo at age 7, Angeloo’s love for music was reignited at age 9, during a challenging time for his family. Determined to pursue his gift, Angeloo and his father began performing on buses, a challenging but formative experience. This led them to the stage at Incanto, where Angeloo captivated audiences with his renditions of songs by Etta James, Lady Gaga, Alice in Chains, and Mozart.
Angeloo’s talent and hard work paid off when he won the 2024 So You Think You Can Rise competition, solidifying his place as a rising star. He has since performed at La Catrina Cantina and Nacho Daddy’s, even participating in the 2023 Puerto Vallarta Gay Pride Parade with a powerful performance of “We Are the World.”
Versatile and gifted, Angeloo sings in multiple languages and genres, including opera, rock, R&B, Motown, country rock, and Spanish music. His inspirations include Michael Jackson, The Weeknd, Luis Miguel, Shakira, and Juan Gabriel. Recently, he released his debut single, “Superstar,” on major platforms, including Spotify. As he prepares to enter the 6th grade, Angeloo continues to hone his craft, always striving to bring fresh and diverse music to his growing audience.
