The year 2004, became a pivotal moment in her life when two significant cheerleaders of her music career, died within months of each other. She describes, with a hint of regret, how the tragedy affected her, They were my role models, and as a teenager, I could talk to them about anything and often felt very optimistic after sharing my ordeals with them. Everyone needs that kind of bond. Moments like those inspired the lyrics for Love Song and I Want To Be More Like You

Since then, Abbi-K has determined not only to love people more, but to also be a positive impact on those around her. She finds that her music has been one of the most effective ways to realize her goals, especially as it relates to kids. You should see them, after I have performed at a concert, they gather around me with so much excitement on their faces. I get to laugh and chat with them one on one and to tell them how special they are. I don't think that they can ever hear enough of that! She shared, fondly. It is important to her that her songs persuade others to make productive and fulfilling life choices. I write to reinvigorate and inspire hope in my peers, she asserts. Young people need to feel confident about themselves even after they have been drawn away from their life's purpose, whether it is by gangs, drugs, or teenage pregnancy. Because of her rigorous upbringing, she feels empowered to encourage youth to raise their standards and push against the negative influences that they encounter in their lives. Her first single, World Changers: Godsta Anthem exudes that very message. You can hear Abbi-K expressing more of that eagerness to live "in the image of her Creator" as you listen to her Pre Album entitled Beginnings. Her first album is expected to be released, here in NY, early 2010.
