In an interview with TV3, her trainer, Gilbert Owusu, disclosed how they overcame her impairment as she readied to join the competition.

According to Owusu, stage name Vokers, Abigail has loved to dance since she was a baby. He said in spite of her condition, listening and dancing to music was her favourite activity. So her father contacted him to help prepare her for the fiercely-contested talent show.

"They called me to come over and train Abaigail because of her situation. I knew how to work with those with challenges like hearing problems."

He said Abigail needed to learn how to calculate her steps to match the vibrations she felt under her feet.

"It's all about calculation. We calculate in everything we do, especially the steps. You have to calculate the dance before you take a step. You can't just dance... The beat vibrates under feet."
