ABI ALTON IS A SINGER, SONGWRITER & MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST
FROM GUISBOROUGH, NORTH YORKSHIRE, UK.
Abi is classically trained in piano with The London College of Music and has played everything from local theatres to the infamous G-A-Y in London, where she supported pop songstress Ellie Goulding. Abi also performed in a 34-date arena tour of the UK and Ireland as a finalist in the X Factor in 2013, gracing the stages of everywhere from London’s 02 Arena to Glasgow’s Hydro.
Abi’s debut EP ‘Souvenirs’ reached the top ten in the UK singer/songwriter charts and received further critical acclaim. Her compositions have been used for TV and advertising campaigns internationally – Abi was the voice and writer behind the soundtrack of Goldsmith’s Christmas campaign ‘The Gift of Giving’ with her work also being selected for use by the BBC, ITV, Disney, and Sony.
Abi is currently writing and recording her second album of original music, which is due for release in 2024.
Abi’s inimitable raw and sentimental vocal performances have made her a popular choice for weddings and private events, with past corporate clients including Morrison’s (where she played Liverpool Echo Arena) and Virgin. Her wedding business was officially founded in 2014, and she has since played hundreds of weddings with countless glowing reviews to boot.
