Discover independent singer-songwriter Abi Muir, dubbed by LA music blog Cage Riot as
“one of the most thrilling and magnetic young voices in pop” who delivers "an exhilarating display of powerhouse vocals and fierce pop precision" (Review article June 2025)
Abi Muir is a Cairns based independent alt-pop singer-songwriter who transforms raw emotion and unapologetic storytelling into cinematic, hook-filled melodies. Described as “a tropical breeze in the music world – refreshing, soothing, and utterly enjoyable to listen to” (PopRock Radio) her unique voice and memorable music moves effortlessly between intimate ballads and bold, dynamic pop. Abi crafts songs that speak to the messy truth of love: heartbreak, obsession, resilience and self-empowerment. It's music for those who love too hard, think too much & feel everything; for those who need to scream out loud driving in their car, and cry quietly into their pillows at night. 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, Abi turns emotional overload into melody - music for hearts that bruise too easily.

At just 22, Abi has already built an impressive resume of performance awards and industry recognition that cement her place as one of Australia’s most exciting emerging pop artists.
She has received international recognition as an Unsigned Only winner for Vocal Performance, and, with her first foray into alt-pop-rock with her song Stockholm, she took out the John Lennon Award in the Rock category of the John Lennon Song Writing Contest.
Closer to home she has been a Queensland Music Award Finalist for two consecutive years, has won the Understory Film Festival Best Music Video for First Date, and has been the recipient of a Regional Arts Development major grant to produce her debut EP, To You.
Recently Abi has embraced a bold, unapologetic pop direction in collaboration with Tokyo-based producer Ghostpops releasing a string of singles, including her Mimi Webb inspired Blueprint and her "defiant celebration of personal worth" (A&R Factory) On One Knee.
With a knack for connecting to others through genuine emotions of love and heartache (Amplify the Noise) she has opened for ARIA Award-winner Dami Im at the Cairns Performing Arts Centre, for Drax Project, Slowly Slowly and Teenage Joans at the Tanks Arts Centre.
Abi has headlined the Queensland Music Festival Tropics Muster and was selected as the local opener for BeSocial Fest at the Cairns Showgrounds, including opening for Winston Surfshirt. She has also graced stages at Airlie Beach Festival of Music, Stratford Sounds, City Sounds, the Tablelands Folk Festival, Cairns Festival, Gladstone Music Festival, & the Agnes Waters Blues Roots & Rock Festival. Internationally, she showcased her poignant ballad I Forgot About Me at the legendary Exit/Inn in Nashville.
With a successful run of single releases Waxx Lyrical wrote "Why Abi isn't leading the Aussie pop zeitgeist with tracks like this is beyond belief".
