About[]
Born on November 9, 1989, Abraham, a true newbie to the performance world, indefinitely postponed his admission into law school to pursue his dreams of taking on the entertainment industry by storm. Oftentimes, he finds himself relating better to women and believes that it is due to the absence of a father-figure in his life. When not performing, Abraham works as a legal aid and a bartender in San Diego. Although he has only been performing for a year, his most rewarding performance was on the streets of San Diego, where he played for homeless people. With loads of hard work, determination, and a bit of sass, Abraham was discovered for The Glee Project through an online video submission.
