Tangelene Bolton was born on May 29, 1991 in Upland, California. She grew up in Flemington, NJ in a musical household. Her mother is from the Philippines and her father is of English, Irish and Scottish descent.

Tangelene first got her start working for A-list composers Hans Zimmer (The Lion King, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Interstellar), Henry Jackman (X-Men, Captain America), and Bobby Tahouri (Game of Thrones, Iron Man). A Berklee College of Music Film Scoring graduate, Tangelene's distinct music style is a mashup of Neoclassical, electronic, folk, and jazz. She boldly turns classic and traditional sounds into exciting and new territories.
