A Truly International Debut
Finally Here is not just a solo achievement—it’s an international collaboration featuring talented musicians from around the world. Argentinian drummer Emiliano Bourlot, American pedal steel expert @steelin_dan, Italian pianist Marco Gatti, Spanish lap steel player Hugo Lanauestudi, UK keyboardist @jon_jhmusic, and Angie’s own husband and producer @josephallenkeys all came together to shape a sound that feels both global and deeply personal.
This cross-cultural mix adds richness to the album’s sonic landscape and shows Angie’s commitment to bringing the best to her craft.
From the heart of Birmingham, UK, Angie Keys is quickly becoming a standout name in the global indie music scene. With a sound that merges country, alt-pop, and rock, and lyrics that speak with raw vulnerability, Angie’s debut album Finally Here marks the arrival of a voice the world didn’t know it needed—but won’t forget.
Radio Success and a Chart-Topping Breakout
Angie’s breakout single Brave became a massive radio hit, topping the Burton Radio Chart at #1 for three weeks and remaining in the Top 10 for over 16 weeks. Its appeal was immediate: honest, powerful lyrics paired with a melody that stays with you long after the first listen.
Support didn’t stop there. Brave landed in the Top 10 Most Heard Songs on UK Country Radio in April, earned features on Countryline Radio's Homegrown show hosted by Tim Prottey-Jones, and gained spins across Hugs Radio, Abreak Music, and a growing list of independent stations worldwide.
A Life Set to Music
Angie’s love for music began as early as she could physically reach the piano keys. But Finally Here wasn’t just the product of years of musical training—it was the result of emotional growth, courage, and a commitment to authenticity. As she puts it, “The best part of making music is being able to give people what I’ve always looked for in songs—comfort, answers, and a place to feel.”
Blending lush harmonies, catchy choruses, and thoughtful arrangements, the album offers an emotional journey that touches on love, resilience, and mental health—a theme close to Angie’s heart.
With a chart-topping debut, award-winning performances, and a spot on one of the UK’s biggest festival stages, Angie Keys is no longer an emerging artist—she’s a rising star. Her future promises even more heartfelt storytelling, bold musical choices, and moments that connect with listeners across generations and genres.
If you haven’t yet listened to Finally Here, now is the time to do it. And if you're lucky enough to be at Solihull Summerfest, don’t miss Angie’s performance—you might just witness the moment a new star truly takes flight.
