Angie was born and grew up in Brisbane, Queensland in a musical family, but moved to Sydney to attend NIDA after finishing a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Queensland. As well as learning the French Horn, she was also a natural athlete - competing in sprinting events from the age of 7 through 17.

But it’s film, the visual arts, story telling and music, social issues, humor and humanity that really move her.
