It’s better if you don’t understand; just listen and have a good time. That’s the response Abby Cubey will give you with a smile when asked to describe her sound and music. She would much rather sing, perform, and write her songs than talk about them. It might seem that Cubey appeared out of nowhere at the House of Blues, after co-writing, producing and performing her song “Believe In Me” followed by Dame Mas Electricidad (produced by Paul Drago) followed by the chart-climbing “Somebody Turn The Electric On”. She makes one thing clear: “It’s not an overnight success”.

Cubey moved to beautiful place in Leonardtown , Maryland for some reasons and she is not satisfied and she left her comfort zone for Los Angeles with dreams of launching her career as a performer. Those dreams got put on hold for her business career in Los Angeles, however, when Cubey and JOJOKID MUSIC, the songwriting/production team founded with Paul Drago and 3 Guys from Jersey suddenly took off. The pair has crafted hits for a diverse roster of talent, including the song that she wrote ” Believe in ME , Dame mas Electricidad , Devil Dressed in Lace and Somebody Turn the Electric on “, which is the theme song for the upcoming Movie .

The song depicts the musician’s current routine. “It’s basically a story of the lifestyle of party and the life you end up living as an artist “.

There are no tricks. It’s honesty with big melodies. And I’m going to be singing songs that are written from various real-life experiences, where Cubey blends her buoyant voice with purposefully simple production.
Although she is incredibly proud of the recordings, Cubey feels the best way to experience the sound is to see her perform live. “That is what I’m most excited for – taking these songs and traveling them around the world.” The only place she would rather be than in the recording studio, is with her back up dancers on stage – where she smiling and sharing her love to her fans. “I think people are really going to gravitate towards the live show. We turn it into a party.”
