The award is well-deserved.<\/p>\n<p>ABYSS has been involved with Lipstick Radio for about a year. \u201cIt\u2019s been great. Khymberlee Carlyle is such a great person. She does so much for us indies, to get us heard and to get us exposure. I really appreciate it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As you know, this year\u2019s Indie Music Awards winners were selected by their fans. When I asked ABYSS how she got her fans engaged and voting, she laughed and explained: \u201cI just went to Facebook\u2026a lot.\u201d She posted about the awards show and sent messages to her fan\u2019s inboxes. \u201cI just asked for the vote, for them to help out. It makes a big difference when you get your fans involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ABYSS takes advantage of many social media forums to keep her fans engaged and to connect with new ones. \u201cI\u2019m literally all over the internet. I build relationships with people one at a time. That\u2019s the best way to build a fan base. I ask them questions: What do you think about my music? What can I improve?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2007, ABYSS began her career in indie music. She started her own publishing company, hired a manager and hasn\u2019t looked back since.<\/p>\n<p>Music is ABYSS\u2019s passion. She\u2019s a natural-born talent. \u201cI feel like it\u2019s a gift that I\u2019ve been given and I just want to share it with the world. I started singing when I was about four years old. I love the stage. I love the feeling. I love the limelight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2134\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ABYSS-performing-225x192.jpg\" alt=\"ABYSS performing \" width=\"225\" height=\"192\" \/>ABYSS sang Lena Horne\u2019s <em>Stormy Weather <\/em>in talent shows when she was young. She credits the following musical influences: Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Bahamadia, Lauryn Hill, Jadakiss, Busta Rhymes, KRS 1, Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, Patti LaBelle and Stevie Wonder. \u201cLauryn Hill is a big influence, because she does the hip hop along with the R&amp;B. She\u2019s so great at both. Queen Latifah does that too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to collaboration with other artists, she first looks at the artist\u2019s work ethic. \u201cThis is not a hobby for me; this is my life. I look to see if they\u2019re affiliated with a publishing company, like BMI or ASCAP. I look to see if they are really trying to take their music to the next level, not just do this here and there. I like to give people great music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s up next for ABYSS? She\u2019s working with a marketing strategist. \u201cWe\u2019re setting up a lot of interviews and shows and appearances.\u201d ABYSS also has a new EP that will be titled <em>Rhythm and Business <\/em>coming out this summer. \u201cIt\u2019s the R&amp;B side of ABYSS. I want to do something different for my fans. They\u2019re used to me doing hip hop, so I want to give them a different side of me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ABYSS advises, \u201cStay at your craft: practice, write and exercise your vocal cords. You can never have too much practice. Invest in yourself. Get behind what you\u2019re doing and put the money into it, if you have it. Promote yourself. You have to do shows. Mingle with people. You have to get involved with people in order for them to know who you are. You can\u2019t just be talented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Excellent advice! I can see why ABYSS is so successful.<\/p>\n<p>To watch our complete video interview on the Amused Now YouTube channel:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/66HdOe8n7fM\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/66HdOe8n7fM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2014 Indie Music Award Winners Series<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2135\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ABYSS-standing-in-skirt-134x375.jpg\" alt=\"ABYSS standing in skirt\" width=\"134\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ABYSS-standing-in-skirt-134x375.jpg 134w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ABYSS-standing-in-skirt-134x375-107x300.jpg 107w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 134px) 100vw, 134px\" \/>ABYSS<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thabyssness.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.thabyssness.com\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/a_b_y_s_s_\" target=\"_blank\">@ a_b_y_s_s_<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/abyssthabyssness\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/+ABYSSTHABYSSNESS1\/posts\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"%20http:\/\/youtube.com\/abyssthabyssness\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/abyssthabyssness\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Kahn, Founder of Amused Now \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Amused_Now\" target=\"_blank\">@Amused_Now<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AmusedNow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/106372266016264510992\/about\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you missed the awards show, you can watch the 2014 Indie Music Awards Show anytime on the Amused Now YouTube Channel:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/bC1eXdqoaZA\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/bC1eXdqoaZA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read about the 2014 Indie Music Awards Show on Amused Now:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/2014-indie-music-awards\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/2014-indie-music-awards\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read the Khymberlee Carlyle\u2019s back story behind the 2014 Indie Music Awards show:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/khymberlee-carlyle-2014-indie-music-awards\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/khymberlee-carlyle-2014-indie-music-awards\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations ABYSS for winning this year\u2019s Lipstick Radio Indie Music Awards Best R&amp;B Artist Female.
