Angelica DiCastro has been on an exciting journey, traveling with her God given gifts, a desire to explore and a passion to perform. This journey has taken her to many countries, singing in many languages and sharing her gifts with many people.

In her travels, Angelica found her first taste of success with the independent release of her first single “I Can See It In Your Eyes” in 1993 when she was only 15 years old. The song received enough airplay in Europe and Canada to warrant strong reviews in The Record, Chart Magazine and Billboard Magazine (see press reviews).

As a result of the overwhelming support from her fans and industry, Angelica recorded her debut album simply entitled World Of Love, an important turning point in her young career. It was at this time that Angelica began exploring the world of songwriting. “A Gift Of Memories” one of the ballads from her debut LP was the product of this labour. World Of Love garnered much attention in European countries such as Portugal, Greece and Holland. “Don’t Know”, another ballad from this album, was featured in a European radio commercial.

Angelica’s sophomore album took a different direction. Once again, independently released, the self-titled album Angelica Di Castro, features a collection of the most popular Italian songs recorded including “Caruso”, “Torna Surriento” and “Io Che Non Vivo”. Angelica has sold 4000 copies from live performances alone.

In 2002 Angelica received what she considers her greatest honour to date when she was invited to perform “Light Of The World”, the International World Youth Day theme song, not only in front of millions but also for Pope John Paul II in Toronto, Canada. Major networks all around the world broadcast this momentous occasion live.

After graduating with honours in classical voice from York University in 2003, Angelica was compelled to immerse herself in her Italian heritage, an impulse that drove her to release a collection of the most popular Italian songs ever recorded.

In the spring of 2004, Angelica was invited by C.I.M Canada (Confederation of Italians in the World) to represent Canada in Paris, France where she performed at “Un Nuit a Paris”, the closing concert for delegates attending this international conference of Italian Businesses around the world.

In 2006, Angelica signed a management deal with Peter Linseman and Music Mentor Productions. The first few months were spent gathering songs, recording and releasing the 8 song EP, "Bittersweet". The full album is scheduled to be released June, 2007. Angelica and dB Promotions & Publicity worked together to launch a successful CD Listening Party for the release of "Bittersweet". The immediate results were TV appearances on OMNI TV, CHIN, Roger's Daytime Shows, magazine articles, magazine reviews and internet features. On Nov. 18th, 2006 Angelica opened for Jann Arden with Dini Petty as a host and performances by Cirque du Soleil. She had the honour of singing at the Order Of Ontario Awards and regularly sings at the Air Canada Centre for the Toronto Raptors NBA basketball team. Most recently Angelica received a Best Pop Artist nomination at the 2007 Ontario Independent Music Awards.

Beautiful Feeling, released February 2008 can be broadly described as adult contemporary with a light rock edge and has already been compared to Celine Dion’s latest original releases. Angelica performs tracks by acclaimed songwriters David Foster (Celine Dion), Joel Feeney (Lee Ann Rimes) Dean Mctaggart (Amanda Marshall), Jud Friedman (Whitney Houston) and more.
