[edit]Abigail Kate Morgan[1] was born on 17 February 1999[2] and was raised in Taunton.[3] She spent a year studying at a university in Chichester before moving to Bristol to study at the city's British and Irish Modern Music Institute.[4] She started writing songs when she was ten,[3] and uploading covers of popular acoustic and country songs to her YouTube channel "A Little Sound" when she was eleven,[3] which she then started annotating with drum and bass after finding her tracks weren't attracting views.[5] One cover version, of "Reality" by Lost Frequencies, attracted 100,000 views, which brought her to the attention of Kanine;[4] Morgan would feature on two records by them, "Face Away" on 25 October 2019, and "Back In Time" on 21 February 2020.[1]
On 28 February 2020, she featured on Gray's "Fallen"; she and Gray would work together again on 4 November 2022's "Memories". On 3 June 2020, she featured on Technimatic's "Lakota",[1] which she wrote about meeting her boyfriend at Lakota, and recorded just before the March 2020 UK lockdown.[5] The song has been streamed more than 5,000,000 times.[6] On 5 August 2022 she featured on their "Confide";[1] she came to their attention after they saw her cover of their "Parallel".[4] On 17 August 2020, she and DJ Gaw and Selecta J-Man released "Rum & Lime"; she and DJ Gaw would later release "Feels Wrong" on 20 August 2021, and on 6 January 2023[1] she and Inja featured on Mandidextrous and Selecta J-Man's "Hold Your Rhythm", from Boomtown's "Chapter One: The Gathering"'s closing ceremony.[7]

On 30 August 2024, she released the single "Situation" alongside group Sugababes,[10][11] which interpolates their earlier track "Overload". She wrote the track during a session with Billen Ted and Katy Tiz, and was moved to use the hook after Ted began humming its melody. The Sugababes added their harmonies during a subsequent session.[12]
Artistry
[edit]Her early references were Gabrielle Aplin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hannah Montana, The Prodigy, and Gorillaz,[3] though her early YouTube videos were inspired by Miley Cyrus.[4] She was introduced to drum and bass after watching Chase & Status perform, and decided to become a drum and bass vocalist after seeing Anne-Marie perform with Rudimental[3] at Boardmasters 2016.[13] She maintains a TikTok account, to which she uploads content with little relevance to her music.[5] She, Piri, Venbee, Charlotte Plank, and Willow Kayne are members of Loud LDN.[14]
