He moves seamlessly between different genres and styles, from collaborations with international and genre-defying musicians and beatboxers (onomatopoeic sounds made by the mouth and nose) to concertos and solo classical recitals. In particular, they also combine classical masterpieces with improvisation, song, and body percussion, with a special interest in curating programs that highlight the connections between Western and non-Western musical traditions so that classical music can reach a more diverse range of listeners. in July 2018, the Royal She graduated as an international artist from the Northern College of Music.

This debut album combines Baroque music (J.S. Bach, Giovanni Pratti), his own compositions, and South African hymns.Although educated as a modern cellist, he definitely transcends genres, being well versed in baroque techniques and even incorporating a completely different type of African music.

On track 1, Abel's own composition "Ibuyile I'Africa / Africa is back," Yo-Yo Ma, who appreciates Abel, joins him remotely from Boston. For "Platti: Cello Sonata," Abel uses a baroque bow, a double bass and theorbo for bass passages, and an African instrument, the kora (a kind of African harp).
