About Abi Muir: Rising Australian Pop Artist - one to watch in 2025
Dubbed as “one of the most thrilling and magnetic young voices in pop” showcasing "an exhilarating display of powerhouse vocals and fierce pop precision" - Cageriot
Abi Muir is an Australian independent alt-pop singer-songwriter who transforms raw emotion into cinematic, hook-filled melodies. Her music has been described as “a tropical breeze in the music world – refreshing, soothing, and utterly enjoyable to listen to” (PopRock Radio). Blending poetic storytelling with polished, contemporary production, Abi takes listeners on an intimate journey through love, loss, growth, and self-discovery. At the heart of Abi’s artistry lies vulnerability and purpose - evocative alt-pop from an over-feeling empath, forever caught between overstimulation and stillness, navigating a world too loud, too quiet, and never quite enough. Caught between silence and chaos, she turns emotional overload into melody - music for hearts that bruise too easily.

In 2024 Abi embraced a bold, unapologetic pop direction in collaboration with Tokyo-based producer Ghostpops releasing a string of singles. She headlined the Queensland Music Festival Tropics Muster, & graced stages at the Tablelands Folk Festival, Cairns Festival, Gladstone Music Festival, & the Agnes Waters Blues Roots & Rock Festival. In 2025 Abi flipped heartbreak into power play releasing the "baddest breakup anthem of the year. Think: sugar, venom, and a glitter-smudged mic drop. Why Abi isn't leading the Aussie pop zeitgeist with tracks like this is beyond belief" (Waxx Lyrical).
Abi Muir was born in Scotland & grew up on the tiny Isle of Barra in the Outer Hebrides, where her love for music & movement first took root. She began training as a Highland dancer at just three years old, developing an early sense of rhythm & musicality. After relocating to Australia with her family in 2015, she expanded her artistic expression through hip hop dance & stage performance. Her passion for singing emerged after joining the school choir, where she overcame severe stage fright to earn a coveted role as a Featured & Solo Vocalist at Creative Generation State Schools Onstage 2019. Performing in the Great Hall of the Brisbane Exhibition & Conference Centre fuelled her desire to pursue music professionally. That same year, Abi released her debut single Heebiejeebies, launching her career as a songwriter and performer. When asked to describe her sound, Abi explains: "If a dreamy pop fairy had a baby with a witty (often heartbroken) lover girl, and that baby sang twenty harmonies at a time over a catchy yet emotionally charged pop/R&B beat - that’s the vibe. Music is my passion. It drives me, heals me, and feels like the blood in my veins. If you could see my aura, it would be made of harmonies constantly vibrating. I believe music is what I was put on this earth to do, and it would be a waste of my time to do anything else."
