Career

[edit | edit source]

In June 2020, Sanchez posted a cover of Cage the Elephant's "Cigarette Daydreams" on TikTok; he built an audience through a steady stream of content attracting over 122,000 followers on TikTok.[5]

After he shared a snippet of "Lady by the Sea", singer-songwriter Jeremy Zucker offered to produce the official version, which was released in July 2020; as a result Sanchez signed a deal with Republic Records. He worked with producer Ian Fitchuk on his debut EP What Was, Not Now, released in October 2021.[5]

On September 1, 2021, Sanchez released the single "Until I Found You", which peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 8 on the Australian ARIA Chart and No. 14 on the UK Singles Chart.

On November 4, 2022, he released a single with Ashe, titled "Missing You".[6]

On January 25, 2023, he released a single titled "Evangeline" which preceded his headline tour.

Sanchez appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote the song and his headline tour. Sanchez performed his song "Evangeline" on the show.[7] On April 28, 2023, Sanchez released his next single, titled "Only Girl".

Sanchez sang "Baby Blue Bathing Suit" for the soundtrack of the Disney+ documentary The Beach Boys.

Sanchez is also featured on Lin-Manuel Miranda's 2024 The Warriors concept album, playing the part of Cal, a member of the Bizzies. He sings vocals in the songs "Cardigans", "We Got You" and "We Got You (Reprised)".[11]

On November 14, 2025, Sanchez and Devi Tuil, known mononymously as Devi, released the three-track extended play Dress & Tie, their debut extended play as the duo Dress & Tie.[13][14]

Style

[edit | edit source]

Sanchez's style on Angel Face is very reminiscent of music from the 1950s and 1960s, which is an era of music he has cited heavily influenced him from a young age. His song "Evangeline", released in 2023, contains a sample from Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey", released in 1968. His earlier EPs, What Was, Not Now and Easy On My Eyes, are more singer-songwriter, with a heavier emphasis on acoustic instruments than the 1950s/1960s rock of Angel Face.
