The best years of her career have been since 1998/1999, when she had her first breakthrough singles. Hooking up with Manchester's own DJs/producers Jason Herd and John Fitz, she released five collaborations in 2004 alone. Abigail is climbing the ladder and establishing her self among the cream of female house music vocalists. Her voice has been described as angelic yet soulful with a twist of diva.
In addition to writing top-lines for other artists/producers she has, after many years of wanting to, now finally taken up DJing, combining live accpellas and chunky house in her sets. Following the release of this fused concept, she was offered a residency at the highly acclaimed PUKKA UP night once a month at London's prestigious club PACHA.
