With her unparalleled vocal abilities and virtuosic piano skills, Abi Carter is a standout among the next generation of artists. Abi cut her teeth as a young teen busking on the streets of California's Coachella Valley, breaking into the public eye in 2024 with her soulful, emotion-dripping performances on American Idol. Earning praise from superstars such as Billie Eilish and Katy Perry, Carter won American Idol in what was rumored to be a landslide vote. She's since headlined Acrisure Arena, where she played to a packed room of thousands of fans. Also inspired by Billie Eilish as well as artists like Lizzy McAlpine, Phoebe Bridgers, Renee Rapp and Manchester Orchestra, both Abi's story and her songwriting express a battle between light and dark, having battled a life replete with tumult while never allowing her inner light to dim. Her music can be succinctly defined as a gorgeous blend of powerful, dynamic, dramatic vocals and ethereal, cinematic pop.
