A short while ago, her spark for the music industry began. ABBY K. combines her guitaring with a passion for performing and a unique, organic voice to become a well-rounded performer. Her love for music is concentrated in the indie/pop/folk genre and she aims to impact her audiences with music that is written with vulnerability and features underlying themes such as Bullying and Self-Identity. In the last year, ABBY K. has written several original songs that highlight her indie/pop acoustic style and accentuate her passion for music. Her most inspirational moment in music was when she travelled to London, England to see her greatest influence, Tom Odell at the Brixton O2 Academy in the fall of 2016. ABBY K. has been recognized most for her unique tone, performance abilities and enthusiasm to play to her crowd.
