A 30-Year Reinvention Story of Cultural Depth, Discipline, Artistry & Resilience

 

TORONTO, ON — February 17, 2026: Canadian-Romanian Artist Angelica Ganea Bridges Two Cultures Through Love Is Light, Launches GTA Book Signing & Live Performance Tour at Chapters/Indigo

 

At 24, Angelica Ganea arrived in Canada from Romania without speaking English. Her journey has been anything but conventional. Her work reflects a rare cultural bridge between Eastern European depth and North American reinvention. By releasing Love Is Light in both English and Romanian (Aripi de Lumină), she honors her roots while embracing the country that shaped her second act. 

 

Today, thirty years later, she is releasing her original symphonic pop single Love Is Light — written, orchestrated, and produced by her — in both English (Love Is Light) and Romanian (Aripi de Lumină). This release represents more than a new song. It reflects three decades of rebuilding identity, mastering new disciplines, and refusing to let creative vision fade.

 

After building a life in Canada from scratch, Angelica spent decades reshaping her artistic path through fierce discipline. In her forties, she began studying piano and music theory — waking at 5 a.m. daily to practice before work. In her early fifties, she taught herself orchestration and music production in order to fully realize the cinematic sound she envisioned for her music. “This is what thirty years of not giving up looks like,” she says.

Love Is Light was born from a deeply personal spiritual experience and written as a companion to her children’s book, Love Is Light: Transmute Fear Into Love. The book —  also written and illustrated by Angelica  — is available in three editions: English, English/French, and Romanian/English.

 

Blending orchestral depth with cinematic storytelling, the single carries a universal message: choose love over fear, and remember that everything is worthy of compassion — even the parts of ourselves we struggle to understand. Angelica’s voice has been described as “angelic” and “soul soothing,” with readers and listeners alike noting the emotional depth of her work. “Beautiful, soul soothing, and undeniably true of heart.” — Greg G., MD

 

To celebrate the release, Angelica is launching a series of Chapters/Indigo book signings and live performances across the Greater Toronto Area, where she will sign books and perform live.

Born in Romania, Angelica has always been an artistic spirit, attracted to music and poetry. Before making her way to Canada at the age of 24, she was a child performer and rising star in the Romanian artistic world, active in both, pop and music theatre. In a world where art is often eclipsed by commercialism, Angelica remained faithful to her mission: to bring authentic beauty to people’s souls. Once in Canada, persistence and self-discipline became her closest companions over the next three decades, as she embarked on a journey of healing her heart and re-discovering her passion for music and writing. She graduated from Fitness at Seneca College in Toronto and worked in the wellness field for over a decade. In parallel, she continued her artistic journey; writing books and releasing music that reflect her sensitivity and inner depth. Her path was not easy. She had to make her mark in an industry where success does not only come from talent, but also from perseverance. However, Angelica carved out a place for herself, through the strength of her voice and heart. Despite her success, she remained a modest presence, almost shy in the face of praise, but grand in front of the stage.

 

Angelica is the recipient of the Award of Excellence from Canpak Chamber of Commerce Canada. In 2010 she released her first original English album titled Remember Who You Are. The album was accompanied by a book of short stories describing her thoughts behind each song on the CD. Ahead of its time, this inspiring work concludes with one main thought: we are love. Due to its spiritual message and unusual symphonic arrangements —not common in a pop album at the time— Remember Who You Are did not get Angelica a record deal. But the consistent adversities in the music industry didn’t stop her from continuing to pursue her passion. Remember Who You Are was followed by Classical album Sacred (2015), Christmas (2018), I Believe (2024) and a number of singles— including the 2021 international song collaboration titled We Will Overcome, for which she produced the vocals of the 50 participating singers. She is the author of 3 books: Remember Who You Are (Short Stories, 2010), Habits Rule You: One Simple Answer to Achieving Your Nutrition & Fitness Goals, (2017) and children's book to be published in 2025, which she also illustrated, titled Love Is Light: Transmute Fear Into Love — also available in two bilingual versions: English/French (Love Lifts You On Wings of Light/ L'amour te porte sur des ailes de lumière) and Romanian/English (Love Gives You Wings of Light/Iubirea Îți Dă Aripi de Lumină).  Angelica is currently working on releasing her original single Love Is Light (and its Romanian version Aripi de Lumină), which she wrote as a companion to her children's book.

 

When in 2019 she was asked to do a talk about her life journey, Angelica put together a one-woman show titled The Story Behind My Song. In this song & storytelling show, Angelica takes her audiences with wit, humor and candour on a fascinating ride, ending with a powerful, unexpected message. "You shared with us a fascinating life journey and managed to redefine success for us all.", said Doreen Scott-Dunne, Program Director at Central Peel Mixed Probus Group of Canada. Six years later, Angelica's The Story Behind My Song one-woman show is still receiving praises for its emotional impact and stunning vocal performances.
