Occasionally, one will find a person who seems to desire more than most, one whose heart refuses to settle for anything less than what burns in their soul. Those are few and far between, but even more rare is a person who actually pursues it.
Abbi Walker is a singer/songwriter whose artistry wells up from the deep places of her soul, and from the honesty of her life. Many connect with the bared "soul" and honesty of her lyirics, her voice, and her story. Her non-mainstream style is refreshing in a world where unique artistry struggles to survive. Frustrated by the lack of honesty and transparency in much of the mainstream Christian music today, Abbi is stepping into a new place, writing and performing songs that describe heartache, doubt, God's sovereignty, the struggle to forgive, and much more.
Abbi has been in music and ministry for the last 10 years, and she spent the last 3 years on staff at a church in San Antonio as the Girls Director for the youth ministry. She has a love for students and women, and connects in a unique way with her audience. Abbi feels that true ministry often flows out of the broken places of our lives, and she strives to speak and minister out of those sweet places of honesty and vulnerability. Whether in concert, worship, or a talk, Abbi strives to see God's people encounter the living, healing, mighty God.
In the fall of 2006, Abbi released her 2nd full length indie album, "Hope of a Little Green". During 2008, Abbi's song "Save Me" was released nationally on 2 Indie Compilation CD's, and also received radio play on CCM's highlight of the "Underground Sound" CD released by NuSpring Records. Indelible Creative Group released also released their indie compilation "Top 20 Indie" CD with "Save Me" on it as well.
Here is what several reviews have to say about Abbi Walker
"Expressively ambitious in both her musical craftsmanship and her?spiritual devotion, this is an artist who has created an album that?not only shuns all the common stereotypes associated with Christian?music, but does so in a way that is remarkably honest, personal, and?refreshingly unpretentious."
"These are far from being?songs of blind faith. She seems more interested in searching for the?answers herself, and some of these tracks reflect both that quest and?the revelations that may or may not clearly follow. It's an?intelligent approach, and it's one that is sure to appeal to those who?are looking to broaden their horizons when it comes to spiritual?music."
CD BABY REVIEW
"IN A PHRASE: Abbi Walker has all the trappings…voice, personality, and presence…of an artist that can make it in this crazy world of the industry. Right now, Abbi Walker is what most would describe as "indie", and I agree with that to the point that her newest effort is independent of label boundaries.
Abbi Walker is a fresh voice that I hope continues to grow in all areas of her artistry. And I also hope that I continue to musically hear from her heart for a long time to come. Until Next Time… The J Man www.thejman.com"
