Angela Little

Angela Little is a screen composer and vocalist originally from Sydney, Australia. Her first big break into screen scoring was on Baz Luhrmann's film "Australia," for which she co-composed Additional Music, which led to nominations for national and international awards. She was also the singer and co-writer of "By The Boab Tree," which was the first song featured on the end credits of the film and was among 49 songs short-listed for an Academy Award for Best Original Song from a Motion Picture in 2009. Angela's music and distinctive vocals continued to appear in a range of film, television, theatre and album projects nationally and internationally. In 2015 she featured as a vocal soloist in Marco Beltrami's score for Alex Proyas-directed blockbuster "Gods of Egypt" and she composed the music for feature documentary "Zach's Ceremony," a coming-of-age story about an indigenous boy navigating his place in both traditional culture and contemporary society. The film had its world premiere at Hot Docs 2016, and went on to screen at the Sydney Film Festival (where it won the Foxtel Audience Award for Best Documentary), Melbourne International Film Festival (where it won the audience award for Best Documentary), and in Australian cinemas in 2017, before being nominated for a 2017 AACTA Award for Best Feature Documentary. In 2018, Angela relocated to Los Angeles after being awarded the Sandra and Alan Silvestri Scholarship to attend the University of Southern California. She has also been recognized with grants and awards from the Australia Council for the Arts (ArtStart Grant, Career Development Grant), the PPCA Performers' Trust, the Ian Potter Cultural Trust, the Australian American Association's Dame Joan Sutherland Fund, and the AMP Tomorrow Fund. Angela's recent projects include feature film "Back of the Net", starring Disney's Sofia Wylie, feature film "Chocolate Oyster", directed by Steve Jaggi which premiered at the 2018 Sydney Film Festival, and television documentary miniseries "How Mad Are You?" presented by Blackfella Films and SBS Australia (which Angela worked on in collaboration with Sonar Music).
