Ian Abel

“Mesmerizing, powerful, enchanting… He is bringing his own personal touch to the music scene.” — Wolf In a Suit Ian Abel (pronounced “able”) is the queer fantasy lovechild of an East Village comic book nerd with a heart of gold. With an oh-so-smooth velvety voice and sensual, psychedelic electro-pop arrangements, he’s like if Sam Smith met Robyn or Jessie Ware met James Blake, all with a side of Peter Gabriel. He’s not just your standard indie voice. Ian released his debut EP Icarus in 2016 and has since become a fixture in the New York alternative pop scene, including packed shows at Rockwood Music Hall, The Bitter End, Goldsound's, and Lovecraft Bar. His songs and videos have been featured on Howl & Echoes, Wolf In a Suit, Clout, Indietronica, Milk Crater, Cougar Microbes, and Spotify’s Fresh Finds. His latest project is a series of singles, beginning with the May 8th premiere of "Taste,” along with a music video co-directed by Ian Abel and filmmaker Kyle Clark and featuring over a dozen NYC-based artists and performers of all shapes, sizes, colors, genders, and vibes.
