Abbie Gamboa, an integral songwriter/worship leader in the UPPERROOM community, has been known for her unrestrained, dynamic anthems for the church since her debut appearance on the first Moments album covering “Tremble” & “Defender” in 2018. After years of keeping her personal artistry tucked away in hiddenness, Abbie releases her first solo project, “pure,” to communicate the core of who she is — a daughter, sister, wife, & mother.
As Abbie grows into all of these parts of herself, her music has a direct emphasis on becoming a daughter. Her internal rerouting taking place through her relationship with God as Father has become the theme & heartbeat behind the song she sings. The idea behind this album, “pure,” was intentional in solely focusing on where her heart stays - partnered with God to meet people where they’re at. She loves that the beauty of music transcends age groups, demographics, & different phases of life. Abbie invites listeners to engage with her songs in a space where they can open their hands & reflectively open their hearts to meet with a God who sees & intimately knows them.
It’s the little things in life that make her come alive; the simple joy found in a rainy or sunny day, fresh flowers, eating her favorite foods, or something new her son does. She's discovering where she’s headed in her music career after learning the seemingly melancholy music she began to write over 10 years ago wasn’t always coming from a sad place, rather from an honest place.
