Katy Abbott is an Australian composer based in Dubai. Abbott says of her music: 'In my music, I am trying to capture the little things that make us human or happen to us because we are human. I am not writing about one specific societal or political issue, but rather, I seek to unpack the human side of life; humour, foibles, quirky things we do and say, beauty, grief and friendship'.
