Ben Abraham (born 12 May 1985) is an Australian folk singer and songwriter from Melbourne. Ben collaborated with artists including Kesha and Sara Bareilles. He co-wrote "Praying" by Kesha.[1]
Abraham's parents were both musicians who played together in the Indonesian pop group Pahama.[2] His sister is Michaela Jayde, who appeared in 2023 on the twelfth seasonofThe Voice and received a four-chair-turn in her audition.[citation needed] Abraham initially sought to become a screenwriter, and concurrently began songwriting while working in a hospital.
In 2014, he released his debut album, Sirens in Australia, which he described as "basically a roadmap of my awkward naïve insecure 20s".[3] In March 2016, the album was reissued by Secretly Canadian.[4] The album includes the track "This Is On Me", which features American vocalist Sara Bareilles,[5] as well as appearances by fellow Australian Gotye.[6]
In 2016 and 2017, Abraham also co-wrote with artists Wafia, Ta-ku and Wrabel on their respective singles "Heartburn", "Meet in the Middle", and "Bloodstain." Abraham's voice has been compared to Guy Garvey and Peter Gabriel.[7] CMJ's Eric Davidson calls Abraham's voice "delicate yet booming" and Sirens a "strong, electro-soul" record.[8]
At the APRA Music Awards of 2018 he won the Overseas Recognition Award and was nominated for Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year.[9][10][11]
In September 2021, Abrahams announced the release of his forthcoming second studio album. On 1 October, the album's fifth single "I Am Here" was released, which is set to appear in the season premiere of ABC's Grey's Anatomy.[12]
