Hailing from Bromley, Abi Hudson is not your typical 18-year-old. While peers may still be deciding on their life’s direction, Abi’s purpose has been resolute for a while. She established her extraordinary performing talent from a young age, and honed her craft over years to establish herself as a real contender on the live circuit. Abi can already count acclaimed performances at popular tastemaker nights such as Ella Guru, the Pixie Lott curated showcase, and renowned London venues the Sebright Arms, The Underbelly and Barfly under her belt. 

In addition to her live success, the young prodigy has just finished recording her debut EP, produced by Terry Ronald (Kylie Minogue, Girls Aloud, Sophie Ellis-Bextor) and Steve Anderson (Britney Spears, Take That, Kylie Minogue). Led by ‘Fragile Around You’, the collection is a compelling statement of intent, blending elements from acoustic indie-rock to intelligent glossy pop, creating a signature sound very much her own.
