Growing up in rural Oxfordshire, Abi Farrell was raised on a soundtrack of female-driven pop, funk and soul; finding her voice in a house filled with early-2000s hits and her mother's love for 60s and 70s music. Influences from the likes of Aretha, Carole King, Eva Cassidy and Chaka Khan may all be present in Abi’s music, but each song is brought into the here and now by her effortlessly pure voice and lyrical dexterity.
