Life Angeline Morrison was born to a Jamaican mother and a Scottish father from the Outer Hebrides. She attended her first folk club at the age of 17, and became active in the Midlands music scene. She lives in Truro, Cornwall.

Her album The Sorrow Songs (2022), produced by Eliza Carthy, takes a series of stories from Black British history and situates them in the tradition of British folk music.
