Dark Angels (band)
Dark Angels (often abbreviated as D.A) is a British pop, R&B and rock band consisting of 5 members: Raven, Ivy, Michelle, Eliza and Emma. Their musical career launched off after they finished second on the 10th series of Y Factor UK. Since then they have signed a deal with Shades production and Pixel Music.

The Dark Angels
Raven, Ivy, Michelle, Eliza and Emma have been a group since 2012 but only decided to share their music and talent with the world 2 years after. They started off by performing on Y factor and then hit the charts with "Alone again" and "Angel with a shotgun". Before they became famous, the five of them lived a few miles away from each other, in the same area in Central London. They became friends after meeting each other at a after school. Their friendship was strong because they all had a strong passion for music, performing and singing but didn't have the confidence to perform in front many people they did not know. After practice performances, the five decided that what they were creating was good, they could make a living out of it and hopefully inspire and make people smile. Since then they have come so far and experienced so many things that they would never have got to, if they didn't build up the courage to perform and share their music with the world.

Y Factor 2015
The five members of D.A performed as an anonymous group on Y Factor 2015. They auditioned with a song they wrote and composed ,originally known as "GO", which is now the name of their new album; however they performed "Angel with a Shotgun" during the first round and semi finals. Due to certain specifications, they called their group 'MERIE' after the first letters of their names but it soon changed to "Dark Angel" and then again to "Dark Angels" to avoid confusion with the heavy metal band. They narrowly lost to a group known as 'Gru and his minions' in the finals, performing to the song "Don't want to die" (one of Ivy's most favourite songs). Despite their defeat, they were offered many record, production and music deals (with an offering from Melody Mix, a music group managed by one of the Y Factor judges) but kindly refused many of them.

Disaster Emergency Committee
During late 2014, Dark Angels signed a deal with Pixel Music, who were also partners with the charity Disaster Emergency Committee. After learning about the work of DEC, D.A decided to sponsor the charity and therefore 75% of shares earned by D.A goes to DEC. After, D.A released a new song known as 'Alone Again' (included in their album 'Go') aimed towards making people more aware of disasters and how it makes people suffer as a consequence. Shades Production also helped in creating a sympathetic music video to go along with it. D.A also released a range of new merchandise, a magazine and a clothing line to raise money for DEC. D.A were given a chance to fly across country to see the work they have done and to also perform to the children they have helped.
