“Better” Off Sticking it Out U.S.A./JAPAN| POP-PUNK ROCK You remember when we said we’d have slight exceptions on Sferikul when it comes to covering artists from the U.S.?

Uhl was born in Bahrain, but her parents soon moved to Japan where she lived until she was 18. When she finished school at 18, she popped overseas to Minnesota and has called it home ever since. However, she does still tour internationally from time-to-time, always taking into consideration her … Continue reading Abisha Uhl
