Born and raised in San Diego California, this nineteen year old Latina is giving the music industry a fresh new sound. At four she saw a live TLC performance with her parents. It was a defining point that lit a fire in her soul. She knew she wanted to sing. With such musical inspirations as TLC, Lauren Hill and Teena Marie stoking the flames of her musical aspirations, it would not be long before she graced a stage. By age twelve she was immersed in professional vocal training, finding her own unique style and sound to take her to the next level. At the age of fourteen, she began writing and recording her own music, a blend of smooth jazz, R&B, and soul. With a vocal range that can reach high into the sopranos and low into the alto's, her voice caught the ear of musical producer Etienne of Pine Mountain Club, Cali. Together they found a niche in music they like to describe as R & B gumbo; a lil bit of everything good!! Her self titled debut album has been highly anticipated and is scheduled for release January of 2008. It features songs like "So Out" and "What if," which are songs that are pure breathes of fresh air within an industry laden with bubble gum ballads. "Thinkin Bout Me" and "Whatcha Got 4 me" are sure to the clubs' dance floors moving. Abrina is the total package with a trendy look, hot dance moves and a powerful voice!
