Low Leaf is the stage name of Angelica Lopez, a Fillipina Californian valley girl who grew up playing classical harp and piano. She eventually moved into hip-hop and beatmaking, and has collaborated with Flying Lotus, King Britt, and New Zealand's Mark De-Clive Lowe.
On-stage she sings, plays harp and keys, triggers samples and throws in a little guided meditation - sometimes all at once. She tells Kirsten Johnstone about her Fillipino heritage and how she's come to know it.
