Performing career
Angelina's performances went viral on YouTube, and she was featured in People magazine,[1] Time,[2][3] and other news outlets around the world.[4] She also realized a personal ambition by performing, in 2014, at that year's Nobel Peace Prize concert.[5][6]
In September 2014, she performed "Fly Me to the Moon" on the US TV show The View.[7] She has also performed in TV2 programs like Allsång på Skansen (Singing at the Border) and on TV4 in Sweden. She appears in a small guest role in the last episode of the 2014 season of the Netflix series Lilyhammer, playing a girl who sings in a bar.[8]
In April 2016, she performed "Fly Me to the Moon" on the American television's children's talent show Little Big Shots.[9]

Other work
In 2015, Angelina published the book Mellom to hjerter (Between two hearts) illustrated by her grandmother Mery Zamani. The book tells the story of Angelina's meeting with a poor motherless girl in Asia to whom Angelina gives her shoes. In return the girl promises to always pray for Angelina. According to Angelina, the book is based on a real incident, and she cites it as the reason for always performing barefoot.[12] In 2016, Angelina launched her own YouTube Channel. After Angelina's debut Christmas EP My Christmas released in 2014, she released Angelina Jordan — The EP on November 27, 2017, and the album It's Magic (with Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps) on June 15, 2018.
