Ben Abraham (musician)
Ben Abraham is an Australian folk singer and songwriter from Melbourne.
Abraham's parents were both musicians who played together in the Indonesian pop group Pahama.[1] Abraham initially sought to become a screenwriter, and concurrently began songwriting while working in a hospital. In 2014, he self-released a debut album, Sirens, in Australia, which he described as "basically a roadmap of my awkward naïve insecure 20s".[2] In March 2016, the album was picked up for international distribution and reissued by Secretly Canadian.[3] The album includes the track "This Is On Me", which features American vocalist Sara Bareilles,[4] as well as appearances by fellow Australian Gotye.[5] Abraham's voice has been compared to Guy Garvey and Peter Gabriel.[6]
