Abigail has released hi-NRG covers of popular songs on both sides of the Atlantic. Some of those are k.d. lang's "Constant Craving", R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion" and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", which peaked at No. 29 on the UK Singles Chart.[2] Abigail's debut album, Feel Good was released in 1995, on the UK based label, Klone Records. The latter also became a top 40 club hit for Rozalla in 1995. Abigail's 1999 hit single, "Let the Joy Rise", was produced by the production duo Thunderpuss. In 2000, she hit No. 1[citation needed] on the Billboard Dance chart with her song "If It Don't Fit", also produced by Thunderpuss. She had a second No. 1 Dance hit in 2001[citation needed] with "You Set Me Free". In 2003, Abigail released "Falling" which peaked at No. 9[citation needed]. After "Falling", she released "Songbird" which was remixed by DJ DoNut and was available as a digital download. After this, Abigail decided it was time for a change and added her last name to her recordings.

She released the album Home...Again in 2005.

In 2006, she lent her vocals to the 10 Monkeys' album Lay Down. Then in 2009, she was featured on DJ Bill Bennett's album, Forever Young.

Her 2010 album Be Still My Soul is a collection of hymns including "Amazing Grace", "How Great Thou Art" and "Be Still My Soul".

In 2013, she made a return to the dance scene with "Surrender" with Bouvier & Barona after a brief hiatus.

Abigail is also a supporter of the international human rights organisation, Love146.
