Auti Angel truly has the voice of an angel. Every word she shares is encouraging as she wears positive energy like a badge of honor. She shares that energy with everyone who crosses her path.

Auti has found the strength to rise above tough situations in her life. She grew up in a gang-infested neighborhood in Torrance, California.

"I've dealt with it all: child abuse, molestation and rape. When I married at 18, I went through a living hell and then escaped him," Auti details. "I'm lucky to be alive."

With growing attention from the record industry, Auti Angel was headed on the fast track in the Hip Hop, R&B world.

"I was J.Lo before J.Lo," Auti says with a laugh, "I danced with LL Cool J. I went on tour with Rap artists and I was about to sign a record deal as part of an all-Latin female Hip Hop group. Then, the tragic car accident happened, severing my spinal cord and leaving me wheelchair bound. That was May 3, 1992, a day I will never forget. The record company wasn't willing to wait, but I told them, 'I'm still me!' The group tried to replace me, but they couldn't and fell apart. I was saddened they didn't move forward because they still needed to follow their dreams."

That record deal evaporated, but Auti's determination for success did not.
