Born and raised in Manchester, her music reflects a deep understanding of culture, love, and loss, shaped by a rich creative journey.

A sought-after collaborator, Abdi has worked with A Certain Ratio, New Order, Angélique Kidjo, and many others, bringing her distinct musicianship and beyond-years wisdom to both studio and live performances. She has also shared stages with The Stone Roses and Ishmael Ensemble and guested with New Order at the Manchester International Festival.
