Abby Foley is a multi-talented singer-songwriter based in Nashville Tennessee. She is completing a Bachelor’s degree in Commercial music with an emphasis in music business. Abby’s music fits within a very niche music style, which includes, but is not limited to, a singer-songwriter folk style, elements of classical jazz concepts, and modern soft pop. She has ample knowledge if advanced music theory concepts and complex chord progressions and has an infinite love for using her music as a vessel for good, which creates a unique fusion of complex melodies and relatable, stunning lyrics.
Abby was born and raised in Chicago Illinois, but now is a current resident of Nashville Tennessee. She did not grow up a natural performer, but because of her strong singing voice, she found communities in which she felt acceptance and love, which included the local community theatre, a small music camp called The Rock House, and her school honors choir. From those sources, Abby fell in love with the stage, not because she wanted to be looked at or admired, but because it was the most effective way for Abby to express herself. Singing on stage became the way she communicated with the world, which is why she started writing original music at a very young age. She continues to carry those values by writing delicate and intimate songs with the hopes that she can share her story with others.
Now, Abby is an aspiring artist in Nashville. Abby spends most of her time participating in writers’ rounds, performing at local venues such as Tin Roof, Cabana Taps, Alley taps, NashHouse, Cambria Hotel, and Sonny’s Patio and Refuge, co-writing with local artists, and doing free-lance vocal sessions in demo production and sync work. She is also currently working on her first EP, with five records, starting with a single release in March. She believes the key to the music business is genuine connection and collaboration, which means you can probably find her at a local venue meeting and networking with local artists on any given day of the week. Abby enjoys the community of the music industry and never strays away from being authentic in her art and genuine to the people around her.
Through the medium of being an independent artist, Abby aims to use her voice as vessel for good. She believes that her greatest goal in life is to inspire people through the power of music. In everything that she does, she aims to spread positivity throughout her fanbase and create an environment free of judgment and rich with love and acceptance.
