Now packaged in a pixie ‘do and a svelte figure, Abiyah flows and sings with the fury of a free wild muse, her cross-genre vocals and floetic lyrics blurring boundaries of avanthiphopdubrocktronica beats. A three-time CityBeat Cincinnati Entertainment Awards Hip Hop nominee and MidPoint Music Festival veteran, Abiyah has performed at NYC’s Sidewalk Cafe with beatboxer Kid Lucky and Carolina Chocolate Drops beatboxer Adam Matta, opened for avant-hip hop vanguards Mike Ladd and Beans and alt-rapper Louis Logic, and, in 2011, appeared on LA art-rapper Open Mike Eagle’s second full-length offering “Rappers Will Die of Natural Causes” (Hellfyre Club). She is also a poet who has had her work published in the anthology "Bum Rush the Page: A Def Poetry Jam" (Three Rivers Press, 2001), and is a member of the Cincinnati-based all-female poetry troupe Bitch's Brew.
