Abraham was born in French West Africa followed by many years growing up in England, Niger, Nigeria, until finally landing in New York City at 14 yrs old. His exposure to the performing arts began thanks to his father; he is an actor, playwright, and filmmaker. From his mother's compassion and service as a private school owner in a socioeconomically challenged Niger, Abraham learned to appreciate human life globally and he chooses to tell those stories through acting, writing, and directing.

Abraham is an alumni of Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, where he majored in Drama. He also holds a Master's degree in Film and Media Production from the New York Film Academy, Los Angeles.
