Ben Abraham began his career as a screenwriter and part time worker in a children's hospital as an entertainer for the sick kids. He often turned to music to cope with everyday struggles and began playing local gigs around his home town Melbourne, Australia. This then quickly turned into a full on tour with Emmylou Harris, which then turned into him writing songs with Grammy-Award nominee Sara Bareilles.
He self-released his album, Sirens, throughout Australia, but then teamed up with Secretly Canadian in order to release it globally.
Abrahams' music is very folk influenced and he is found often using guitar, ukulele, piano and harmonica to support his hauntingly angelic voice.
During Sirens he incorporates harmonious vocals and experimental soulful arrangements to create his world, and tell his story, which is placed in a specific order so that"the listener can experience it properly" he says.
