The Los Angeles raised performer was discovered by gospel great BeBe Winans, who made it a point to see that Abraham made it to "the big stage." Abraham won the hearts of millions while competing and winning Oprah's "1st Karaoke Challenge" being judged by a few of the most intimidating leaders & legends of the entertainment field; Gladys Knight, David Foster, Diane Warren and Antonio 'LA' Reid. Abraham's gift has garnered many platforms including invitations to perform for former FLOTUS Michelle Obama, Prime Minister Shimon Peres, speaking at TedX and FRED Talks as well as several recording contracts, including Def Jam Recordings. Dream-chasing while accepting his path has led him to multiple trips around the globe sharing music and his belief that "We all possess the power to be great if we greatly accept our own power".

Though Abraham has been performing for more than 20 years it's not the only thing he has been doing. When he isn't singing he's serving as a Creative Director, Producer, Influencer and the artistic voice to many performers, talents, products, concerts and shows. Abraham McDonald' s latest single "BETTER" is taking a gigantic leap forward, the music video for BETTER is now featured on MTV.com and VH1 Soul. His first book "In Charge of the rebuild" is set to release fall of 2017. (more) About Broadway In The H.O.O.D
