“I once heard this analogy by Aaron Doughty that really stuck with me. He said imagine you’re a tree that produces fruit. The tree doesn’t care if you eat the fruit and enjoy it, eat the fruit and hate it OR if you throw the fruit at someone’s head. The tree will still be a tree and bear fruit no matter what you do with it. The same applies to you and your art whatever it is that you do. Like a tree you should continue to bear your fruit regardless of who likes or dislikes it. Once you like it yourself external validation shouldn’t matter. That’s what I’m on because it’s never that deep. At the end of the day, it’s night.”

About Aby Coulibaly
For Aby, sharing her music has been a lifelong inevitability. Uploading a handful of tracks to Soundcloud as an outlet for her creativity in 2019, her music struck a chord with many and resulted in an outpouring of support. Since then, Aby has garnered a dedicated fan base, forging a personal connection with her audience. Regularly teaming up with long-term collaborator, Monjola, Aby sings from the heart, telling compelling stories wrapped in alluring melodies.
Through her nostalgic meld of 90’s R&B beats, buttery vocals and piqued by her astute observational lyricism, Aby has amassed an impressive 6.7 million Spotify listeners. Taking inspiration from her Senegalese heritage and merging this with her day-to-day experiences of Dublin life, Aby creates a sound that’s effortlessly her own.
Having burst onto the scene in 2020 with her greatly-received debut single ‘Taurus’, quickly racking up 2.5M streams, Aby followed that up with ‘Long Nights’, ‘Weekdays’, ‘Where u at’, & ‘Rewind’ which received its debut performance on Ireland’s Late Late Show. Most recently, Aby shared the stunning ‘Patience’ alongside Sam Fallover’s directed video. Aby returns with a vibrant new single, ‘DYWS?’ via AMF Records. Arriving alongside the new single is news of Aby’s headline shows.
