Cognac chats with Gospel Singer Abbi-K and the Tappin sisters – Video by Mauro Botero
Another great entertainer Abbi-K spoke to me about her music and bringing the word of God to the masses.
Abbi-k What is a Godster? It could have many meanings that are unique to everyone. Abbi-k’s music touches all, inspiring the youth to live above the influence. Powerful and young – her style has been compared to the likes of Lauren Hill. Abbi-k is a true Godster as her gospel single “ World Changers “Godster Anthem” reflects. Abbi-k was born Abigail Kichelle Herbert in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas (USVI) but was raised in St. Johns, Antigua. Growing up she sang in church choirs leading solos and participating in musical events in church building the foundation for her love of music “I grew up in church, which I think gave me the passion for music and singing.” – Abbi-k Abbi-k is energized and influenced by musical artists like John Legend, Lauren Hill, and CeCe Winans just to name a few. The singer/ songwriter/musician is beautiful, down to earth and is a Christian staying true to her conviction through Jesus Christ. Abbi-k is currently working on her debut album set to be released in late 2009.The album will contain fresh new sounds from (Producer/ Song writer) Kareem Herbert and (Producer) Kirk Swaby. This talented young lady has a gift for playing the keyboard, drums and guitar with a style that has not been seen before. “My music is geared towards young people. My message to them is, you can live a true Christian life and not be persuaded by your environment.” – Abbi-k With an album that focuses on issues young people are dealing with, it is sure to capture a following of those who love and respect “Clean and Fun” music.
