Absa is a Photographer and Producer based in Texas.

Born in Oregon, Absa relocated to Mexico City during childhood, an experience that provided rich visual and auditory stimuli through vibrant urban life and deep-rooted traditions. This early exposure to the colorful dynamics of Mexican culture established a foundation for creative expression.

Later, time spent in Texas added another layer to this artistic upbringing, blending influences from both Latin American heritage and American Southern culture. Here, the wide-open landscapes and the rhythmic pulse of local music scenes further shaped the artist’s aesthetic, drawing on elements of folk, rock, and traditional Mexican sounds.

Photography became a medium for exploration, capturing moments that reflect a juxtaposition of cultures—urban landscapes intertwined with elements from nature, much like the duality of the artist's upbringing. The lens serves as a bridge between the past and present, offering glimpses of identity and belonging.

As a musician, the artist’s work resonates with experiences of displacement and the longing for connection, using a mix of instruments and vocals to create soundscapes that evoke emotion. The melodies often draw from various musical traditions, illustrating a rich tapestry of influences that speak to both personal history and broader narratives.

In both photography and music, the artist channels a commitment to storytelling, prioritizing authenticity and emotional resonance. This multifaceted approach continues to evolve, deeply rooted in a life rich with diverse experiences that inspire and inform each creative endeavor..
