Ivory Corsey, born November 20, 1983, or Angel DeMar, is an American singer-songwriter. She was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware and has released two songs "Who Run This?" and "I Might".
Career[]
Angel DeMar was born Ivory Corsey, November 27, 1983, in a small town on Maryland's eastern shore, and was raised in Delaware so she decided to put the two together and got the name De-Mar, and along with her childhood nickname, this became her stage name. This R&B artist has a vibe that makes her very approachable and real, which adds an edge to the lyrics of her songs that she mostly writes herself, and contributes to the interesting swagger her songs and performances held. Her singing style and tone are suggestive of that of Billie Holiday, and her vocal control and riffs have the sentiment of a young Aretha Franklin, CoCo from SWV and sometimes even a rich vibrato similar to Brandy's may surface in one of her ballads. With all of this talent, Angel can still be uniquely singled out from all of the rest because of her laid-back, cool personality. Angel keeps it real when touching the delicate female subjects and is often asked, "What made you say that in your song and is that based on a personal experience?" and she usually answers, "I'm just saying what the average everyday girl is thinking or wants to know and I know the ladies feel me and appreciate my honesty." I know we seldom think if you've heard one female R&B artist you've heard them all but that's not the case with Angel De-Mar, and it will be artists like her who guide the way into the new world of Hip-Hop and R&B singers.
Artistry[]
DeMar is straight out of the urban streets of Wilmington, Delaware and attributes her continuous dedication to make it as a singer/songwriter to have a wonderful, supportive, and loving family, because although most people think of her hometown as a place they pass through while on the I-95, this small city isn't an easy place to grow up in because every city has a hood.
