BIOGRAPHY
Abigail Zsiga used to get into
trouble for sneaking vinyl out of her father's record collection.
While her classmates were busy listening to Wham and Madonna,
Abigail was educating herself with Carole King, James Taylor,
Squeeze and Supertramp. While only 8 years old Abigail was asked to
perform at her school's parent night. The connection she felt that
night with her audience was so great that she realized her future
could only be that of a singer and a songwriter – communicating her
life through music and song.
Trained as a classical vocalist, she later began to experiment with
other styles of music, seeking new opportunities while exploring and
developing the deep, rich quality and texture that defines and
distinguishes her voice. While still a teenager Abigail had her
first chart success as a featured vocalist for the UK trance outfit,
"The Love Decade". She then teamed up with British producer
Ian
Anthony Stephens and together they recorded her first full-length
album, "Feel Good", which earned her awards for Best Album, Best Female Vocalist
and Best New Artist.
Having achieved extraordinary success as a vocalist Abigail knew it
was time to once again pursue her other passion; songwriting. Her
first writing credit came with the release of “You Set Me Free” in
2000 on Strictly Rhythm Records. Abigail began to visit major
publishing companies in search of collaborators with whom she could
develop and refine her craft while determining her musical niche.
Her art as a singer-songwriter was evolving and it was soon time to
put together a collection of her songs which expressed her deepest
thoughts, feelings and observations. Abigail’s long-awaited second
album, “Home …again” is that stunning collection. It delivers a
breathtaking journey of love, loss and triumph that surveys a huge
range of emotions and experiences. The title track of the album, a
touching tribute to her grandfather penned shortly after his death;
the hauntingly beautiful “Songbird”, written at a time of deep
personal turmoil; and the proven radio hit “Better With You”,
co-written with Dimitri Ehrlich who also co-wrote Moby’s single
‘Where You End’; all prove that Abigail Zsiga’s authenticity is
established by her principle that artistic creation establishes and
maintains credibility.
In addition to her musical achievements Abigail is also an dedicated
advocate for the human rights organization "LOVE146" (www.love146.org)
who work to combat child sex trafficking through advocacy,
prevention and aftercare.
