Abbey Artico

The vibrant Abbey Artico is a popular saxophonist with over 17 years of performance experience, which includes theatre productions, jazz bands, orchestras and pop groups. Having studied Jazz at the University of Cape Town, and Light Music at Technikon Pretoria, she was snapped up by theatre producers and shortly after her studies, began a 12-year run of theatres nationwide. Abbey was quickly promoted to Musical Director and Arranger for shows such as Girl Talk, Sisters in Song and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

She has toured with the likes of PJ Powers and Little Sister and has shared the stage with Jennifer Jones, Andre Schwartz, Jannie Moolman, Melanie Lowe, Bruce Cassidy and Denzil Weale. In 2004 she created the corporate entertainment group “SHE Band” which has been a resounding success and has performed to over 60,000 people.

Abbey provides sophisticated, vibrant background music for cocktail parties, tea parties, meet-and-greets, golf days and corporate events.

Her repertoire incorporates jazz, light pop ballads, light jazz funk and fusion.
