Abel's
musical journey began as a drummer at the age of 12, and then
like many of his mentors moved on to other instruments, driven
by an urge to write ands arrange his own music at an early age.
His main influences include bands like Parliament, Tony Toni
Tone, Mint Condition, and artists such as Prince and Miles Davis.Abel's
writing is swayed by various sources of inspiration such as
paintings, books, films, and also his observations of society
and people. He calls his music funk and for him, funk is a mixture
of musical styles, a fusion that is determined by the way you
play. And for those who wonder what funk sounds like, Abel says:When
it's funky, you'll know ! Like many artists, Abel's vision is
that music should be played live and shared with others. To
this end, one of his current projects invloves working with
his band to perform live. See you there...
