AWARD-WINNING SONGWRITING DUO
GRAMMY Award winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear are the heartbeat of modern musical storytelling. Barlow & Bear’s first collaboration, “The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical Album”, was written, recorded, produced, and engineered independently in just six weeks with lead vocals by Barlow and orchestration, production and additional vocals by Bear. The album tallies over 50m independent streams and won the 2022 GRAMMY Award for Best Musical Theater Album, making Barlow & Bear the youngest-ever winners in the category. Crafted with elements of pop, classical, and jazz, Barlow & Bear’s music blossomed in real time on TikTok, with the audience involved in every step of the creative process via livestream, comments, and duets.
Barlow & Bear’s next project is the much-anticipated feature MOANA 2. Barlow & Bear are the youngest composers in history to write all the songs for an animated Disney film, and the first female writing team to do so, collaborating with Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa’i to craft the sounds of Motonui and beyond. With MOANA 2, Barlow & Bear bring their unique perspective as young, female songwriters to Moana’s journey, with their music matching the scope of Moana’s voyage into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.
Separately, Abigail and Emily each enjoy success in their independent ventures - Abigail is a sought-after pop songwriter for major label artists, actress, and independent artist with over 20m streams, while Emily is a pianist, composer and performer, touring as the pianist on Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour in 2023, and scoring two films releasing holiday 2024.
Together, Barlow & Bear marry their influences, breathing new life into the possibility of what musical storytelling can be.

ABIGAIL BARLOW
26-year-old Abigail Barlow is a Grammy winning singer, songwriter, and composer best known for her glittery, addictive pop songs and viral musical content series.
As a teenager, Abigail’s voice found a worldwide audience on the internet live-streaming platform YouNow. She became a 2016 YoungArts Finalist and founding Tiktok creator, where she fostered her love of writing and performing her original music in real time for a growing fan base. Now, with over 2.4 million TikTok followers, a Forbes 30 Under 30 nod, and 75m+ independent streams, Abigail continues to release solo music and perform her pop music, building a fanbase with her sticky pop bangers and heart wrenching ballads alike. Abigail’s strength as a songwriter also leads her to write with and for other artists, and she asserts her influence in the music industry by making a commitment to work with female writers and/or producers regularly, as well as to offer a writers fee for all her solo releases, becoming the first artist to take such a stand advocating for her songwriting peers and colleagues.
Recently, Abigail has worked on music with/for artists including Ava Max, JVKE, Gayle, Meghan Trainor, Freya Ridings, Kylie Cantrall, Daya, Zolita, and more, collaborating with pop heavy hitters including Ryan Linvill, Jakke Erixson, Jonas Jeberg, Jackson Foote, JORDY, and Jesse St John while also cultivating her own cohort of up and coming producers and songwriters. Abigail lends her musical theater storytelling, clever lyricism, and killer hook sensibility to every song, always collaborating with the mission to amplify the artist’s voice, vision, and style.
Abigail performed her debut live shows in LA and New York last winter and continues to perform regularly with both her pop show and her musical theater work with Emily Bear. She is always hard at work developing properties from both existing IP and from her own imagination, and is currently at work on numerous other projects for film, TV, and stage.
Abigail displays a well rounded portfolio, with her passions for female empowerment, fitness, women in audio, and musical theater leading to brand collaborations with Bose, Shake Shack, Dolby, Petsmart, and Taco Bell (2024 Clio Award). She maintains a vibrant and influential presence in the Broadway, songwriter/producer, and influencer communities, positioning her in a unique crossover space unlike any other entertainer today.
