ABOUT THE ARTIST
Abra Kadab is a multifaceted artist living in and operating out of Los Angeles, CA. They are a recording artist, composer, actor, and social activist. Their mission is to be loud and unapologetic about commenting on injustice through their art, and highlighting their perspective as a gender fluid individual.
Abra Kadab has roughly 20 years of experience working within the music and entertainment industry. They come from a classical background and are proficient on drums, keyboards, and vocals. They were classically trained on piano beginning at age seven under the instruction of Dr. Ardyce Gregor Lee (alumni of Juilliard). At 15, they began percussion in high school band and were selected to go to the coveted Governor's School For The Arts in Murfreesboro, Tennessee to study drums and percussion under Dr. Monte Coulter.
They played paid gigs as a performing keyboardist and drummer for many years following. Later, from 2012-2014 they attended Durango Songwriters Expo in Denver, Colorado. It was there where Abra Kadab was informed of the uniqueness of their approach to composing and songwriting, and was encouraged by many industry greats to take their talents to the next level. It was also here where they met Nashville based singer/songwriter Amanda Williams (Berklee College of Music) and studied her courses on Songwriting and Music Business.
KUBIK is a musical project founded in 2016 by Abra Kadab. Their dark, politically charged EP "World On Fire" debuted in 2018 and was released through eRecords. Their second EP "The Empty Space" explores a profound void that humanity as a whole seems to experience, and was released in 2022. They are currently working on two new albums. The release dates are TBA.
They have collaborated with industry legends such as Scarlet Rivera (Bob Dylan), Durga McBroom (Pink Floyd) and Rick Torres (Supreme Beings of Leisure) as well as Michael A. Levine (former Governor of the Emmy Awards). In 2016, they modeled for photographer/musician Jack Grisham (T.S.O.L) and were featured in art galleries in downtown Los Angeles. In 2016 they played keys at a welcoming home reception held in West Hollywood for the Los Angeles Rams.
Their musical compositions outside of their KUBIK project include film scores, jingles for commercial television placement, experimental/noise tracks, audio/psychodramas, hard rock, and electronica. Horror, suspense, and comedy are their specialty genres when acting in and scoring films. They are currently signed with MPath Publishing.
"The Empty Space" is a concept album in which I explore the internal vacancy that the whole of humanity seems to experience. Our feelings of emptiness, I believe, are an externalized expression of our collective biological natures, and we are all very keenly aware of the profundity and depth of this void. This album navigates the ways in which we attempt to fill this gaping hole. The search for a God and that God's salvation, the search for true love to distract us from our singularity and lonliness, and the search for meaning where none ever existed apart from our own personal narratives and what we have assigned "meaning" to be, and on what terms.
