Ángel Schaffer, better known by stage name Angel Boi, is an American rapper and poet.
His first released project, Blessed Child (2004) was a romantic poetry book. Then his first recorded single Toe Lover' in 2005, which was historic by being the first song ever about sucking women toes. He feels that it's important for an artist to write about the truth. As he puts it, "It's a true-life story. All my relationships deal with it." Boi admits some guys are into "skittels" just like he is, but the ladies are the ones who really love his toe-suckles. In fact, it's not uncommon for ladies to line up after his shows and try to stick their tootsies in his face. Angel's Boy Enterprises was established by Ángel in 2004. The Indie record label was launched, because Ángel wanted to express himself without the added pressure of signing to a major label. Ángel patiently waited to start his company, because of his strong belief in his own creativity. His zest for life has taken him to places he never thought he would go. It has allowed him the freedom as an artist to write, create, to be the type of artist who will be remembered until the end of time for his timeless work.

Mecano was a Spanish pop band formed in 1981 and active until 1992. Mecano became one of the most successful Spanish pop bands of all time. The band is still the best-selling Spanish band to this date, reaching over 25 million albums worldwide. They had a brief comeback in 1998. They were considered by some to be avant-garde for their time.
The band's lineup was singer Ana Torroja and brothers Nacho and José María Cano, who worked alongside session musicians such as Arturo Terriza, Manolo Aguilar, Nacho Mañó, Javier Quílez, Ángel Celada and Óscar Astruga.
The trio's musical career spanned two distinct stages. The first, up to 1985, was essentially as a synthpop band; while on the second stage Mecano followed a more acoustic pop rock direction, with elements of ballad, dance, flamenco, bossanova, tango, salsa, rumba, bolero, paso doble, and even reggae.
The unprecedented success also hit Latin America. Also, thanks to adaptations to other languages of several of their songs, they had an impact on non-Spanish speaking countries such as Italy and France, as with their Une femme avec une femme. That foreign song remains to this date the one which has been for the most weeks at the top of the French charts.
Mecano was a pop music band from Madrid, Spain formed by Ana Torroja, Nacho Cano and José María Cano.
