February 18, 2025 - Angie Rey – Fight Song (Official Video) | Directed by Mario J. Novoa

Description: Angie Rey, who recently performed on The Voice (2025), delivers a powerful and emotional rendition of Fight Song. Filmed in Florida in the aftermath of a hurricane, this video is a testament to resilience and hope. Angie's stunning vocals, combined with breathtaking visuals, create an unforgettable experience.

Her performance is nothing short of spectacular—passionate, professional, and deeply moving, like capturing a shooting star in the night sky.

Angie’s journey on The Voice was just as inspiring. Getting onto a Coach's team by singing one of their songs is a bold move, but it worked for Angie. She secured a spot on Team Kelsea with her rendition of Penthouses by Kelsea Ballerini.

"I am terrified of singing a Kelsea Ballerini song in front of Kelsea Ballerini," Rey admitted. Calling herself "a huge Kelsea fan," she explained, "I would love a career like Kelsea’s. She writes from the point in her life that she’s at, but it really does transcend so many generations of people. Her songs have gotten me through so much. If someone blocks Kelsea Ballerini, I might throw hands."

Mario J. Novoa, Film Bliss Studios, shares his praise for Angie Rey:

"A powerful singer and artist, Angie Rey's music and voice transcends and touches your soul. Angie Rey inspires and moves you. Angie Rey is a rising star with a professional outlook, always aiming to please her fans, and remain true to her art."
