Crooked Flower hits all the sweet spots. Phat bass and drum grooves along with melodic guitars and Angie Dang's R&B vocals create a modern sound with a vintage vibe. Crooked Flower began when Dan Ingberman and Daniel Erik started recording in Berkeley, CA. In 2014, Dan and Daniel recruited drummer Patrick Shields from Denver Colorado and vocalist Angie Dang from Phoenix, Arizona to join the party. Crooked Flower launched their self-titled debut album in 2016.  Recorded at Green Day's Jingletown studios, and produced by Gordon Brislawn, the album offers a small taste of Crooked Flower which will leave you wanting more.

Crooked Flower has received awards  for "Song Of The Year For 2015" for their song "Too Broke To Fix" from Twirl Radio KUBU 96.5 in Sacramento. In addition, Crooked Flower was awarded "Best Live Performance" for their September 26th, 2016 performance in Berkeley, California.

Mark Malec is an American Singer/Songwriter based out of California. His musical journey began when he started playing guitar in 2003 at age 13 while looking up to his older brother's rock band that rumbled the local island scenes of the southern New Jersey coast.  It wasn't long before Mark and his friends started a band of their own, trying to play the songs they loved and grew up with which was heavily influenced by Classic Rock, Alternative 90's, Pop Punk and the steady beats of Hip Hop.  The passion for not only playing music, but also creating it was ignited and since then it has only grown stronger as Mark releases his new 2024 single, "Standing Still".
