She is influenced by many including Nasio Fontaine, Dennis Brown, Yolanda Adams and Aretha Franklin. AbiYah believes that through reggae music she is able to take on the great commission of enlightening others so they become aware of themselves and their identity.  "Music transmits vibrations that create or destroy. Such is the power of our words. I choose to speak life or this music is nothing  but selfish vanity. I create as I speak. Shalawam"  AbiYah Yisrael
