Born in New York, raised in South London, and now based in Atlanta, Abra is an outlier. Like her upbringing, Abra's music isn't specific to a place, a time, or a sound. Instead, it's a blend of influences - utilizing different components of Miami Freestyle and electro-funk 808s topped with airy R&B-tinged vocals. Abra's voice and sounds are familiar, but uniquely contemporary. She then found inspiration in unique juxtapositions, as seen in her early acoustic covers of Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka Flame, and 2 Chainz that she posted on YouTube. Those videos eventually led her to a ?new community of DIY creatives in Awful Records. No longer a lone outlier, she is a leader and lightning rod for a new generation of outsider R&B artists.
