ERIEL INDIGO is an LA-based galactic pop songstress, creative director and activist.
Indigo utilizes her music, dynamic videos and hyper-reality performance as a vehicle to promote well-being, productive rebellion, intentional evolution and healing of the communal consciousness. She wasn’t born in a board room and isn’t a concept someone in a suit thought up to sell drugs, shallow sexuality, candy, alcohol, superficiality or hate. ERIEL is a real artist with something genuine to say and something pure to share.
Before making the move to LA to fully pursue her art, the indie-pop ingénue grew up in Northern California - immersed in nature, hippies, hillbillies, freaks, fairies, outlaws, guns, music and everything in between.
Her mother is a musician, songwriter and healer — her father, a new age spiritual and leftist political writer.
“I suppose my music and art inherited quite a bit from my upbringing,” explains INDIGO. “Sound healing and revolution are in my blood. I was raised in an environment of outlaws and programmed to
question everything, all the while acknowledging our innate connection to each other, to all beings and all things."
ERIEL made the move down to Los Angeles, where she connected with emerging record producer JOHNNY WHAT. Together they independently released INDIGO’S first single and video “INNOCENCE” in 2014, which immediately received high praise from influential sources like Buzzfeed, Revolt, The Line of Best Fit and Galore Magazine, with a gang music, art and culture publications following suit with fawning coverage domestically and abroad.
Following the success of “INNOCENCE,” INDIGO continued work on her debut release with her partner in crime JOHNNY WHAT, completing 8 explosive tracks to be released as the ELEVATE EP, due out in March of 2016 and a full album to follow, entitled GALACTIVATE.
“When I create songs I’m looking to craft empowering anthems that can trick people into chanting themselves into inspired and activated states of being,” says INDIGO. “With ELEVATE, I aim to uplift, rile up and awaken. I like to inject meaningful words and content into the repetitive formulaic design of pop music.”
