Early life and education

edit

Abdul was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.[1] Abdul was influenced by both Latin music from her mother and classic rock from her father.[1] She also attributes Nirvana, Lana Del Rey, The Neighbourhood, Billie Eilish, and Arctic Monkeys as influencing her musical style.[2]

Career

edit

Abdul never considered a career as a musician until she released the song "Babydoll" in 2021.[1] She recorded the song in her bedroom and was convinced by a friend to put it on TikTok. The song went viral and landed her a deal with Slumbo Labs and RCA Records. The following year she released her debut EP Fallen Angel, followed up by a promotional tour in the United Kingdom and Europe[1] which sold out.[2]

Abdul followed up with her second EP, CCTV, in 2023.[3] That year, she toured in Europe and North America and appeared at Lollapalooza.[4][5]
