Today we’d like to introduce you to Abraham Khan.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’d say my musical journey started pretty early on. I was fascinated with a wide variety of music, thanks to my parents, and picked up the Cello in middle school, where I learned a lot of the fundamentals. Attic Space was formed out of a culmination of many different musical projects and ideas of mine. I dabbled in EDM production and DJing for most of my teen and young adult years before my focus shifted towards the world of indie and psych-rock. I always wanted to form a band, but also always knew I worked best when doing things my way, and Attic Space was the result of realizing those two things weren’t mutually exclusive. In the midst of the pandemic, I decided to stop waiting around, and just make something happen, so I started compiling all the music I had been writing and enlisted the help of some of my very talented friends and peers, and Attic Space was born.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I’ve always tried to focus on just doing what I loved and not worrying about what I was supposed to do, so in that way, it’s hard to complain. Sure, it’s hard not to compare yourself to others, or hope for bigger numbers and more fans, etc., but I try to remind myself that I’m doing this solely because I love making music and art, and the rest will come with time.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Well, I like to think of Attic Space as more than just a band. Really, it’s more like an ever-evolving art project. Since I’m someone whose taste is constantly changing, I’ve set up Attic Space like an anthology TV show with multiple “seasons.” Basically, every season there’s not just new and different music, but the whole genre, aesthetic, art style, live performance, and list of collaborators for Attic Space will change. So really what I do (or at least what I try to do) goes beyond making music, and into the graphic design and live visual art for the project.
Currently, Attic Space is still in Season One, and the debut album, “The Crashing of 1,000 Waves,” just released in January!
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs, or other resources you think our readers should check out?
I try to keep finding interesting new art at all times, whether that’s browsing graphic design on Instagram, listening to new albums (I actually keep a log of all the new music I listen to!), or going to local shows and engaging in the scene. I’ve been trying for a while now to get into podcasts but it’s hard for me to find the right ones! So, if anyone has any suggestions, definitely hit me up.
