‘Arms of Me’ - all yours, out now

Progressive writing-style, classical roots, and cinematic flair; singer-songwriter Fabia Anderson’s sound is at once timeless and forward-thinking, drawing on a diverse tapestry of influences (Kate Bush, Thom Yorke, Weyes Blood, Agnes Obel, and more). An established session musician, Fabia started out playing for other artists on tour across the UK and Europe, accompanying them in support slots for acts including Ed Sheeran and BANKS. Her acoustic arrangements and live session features for Ministry of Sound, Vevo and 4Music have amassed over 4.2 million plays to date; all while songwriting, exploring and cultivating her own sound behind the scenes. 

September 2024 saw the release of Fabia’s debut single ‘Away From You’ produced with Leo Abrahams (Regina Spektor, Katie Melua) and championed by BBC Introducing’s Abbie McCarthy as “incredible [...] a pour-your-heart-out anthem.” After a string of London live shows including sets at Troubadour, Piano Smithfield and a support slot at KOKO, she releases new anthemic single 'Arms of Me' to kick off 2025. With her piano-vocal trademark at the heart, Fabia’s evocative, ethereal arrangements bring to life songs as pillars of strength; to embrace, process, and overcome.
