Abiah

Formerly active under his given name, Jeremiah, the soulful singer now known as Abiah (his surname) cut his teeth as a backing vocalist with George Michael, Amel Larrieux and Yolanda Adams. Here he celebrates the release of his new album, Life Is a Ballad, with a solid band and an unnamed, Grammy-nominated guest. (Oh, hey, look at that…Abiah's cousin, protean pianist Robert Glasper, has a hole in his calendar tonight.)
