Los Angeles, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Capitol Records) - As a pop-music singer/songwriter whose styles unite like a teen's iPod on shuffle,
Priscilla Renea is a true product of the Internet Generation.
Having already showcased her musical talents to over a million viewers from the comforts of home, she has been self-promoting her musical craft on YouTube for a little over a year.
Since then, Priscilla's songs have had over 1.6 million views, over 30,000 channel subscribers and scores of imitators.
Now signed to Power/Capitol Records, fans can finally experience this YouTube sensation beyond the webcam with the release of her debut EP 'Hello My Apple' (released March 31).
A Navy kid who attended more than twenty schools in her adolescence, Priscilla gravitated to choirs and theater groups, winning her first musical theater competitions as a high-schooler, and dreaming of making it on Broadway.
It wasn't until her senior year of high school in Vero Beach, Florida that she discovered her natural talent for writing catchy, pop songs only after her father gave her a guitar for Christmas. Some teenage girls's write in their diaries and lock them with a key; Priscilla poured her heart into songwriting and shared it with a social network of soon-to-be fans. Her debut EP 'Hello My Apple' features three tracks that were among her most popular on YouTube: 'I Fell in Love,' 'Hello My Apple,' and 'Cry.'
Cast on MTV's Say What? Karaoke show, Priscilla's page views spiked and her songs were being re-posted as covers by a growing fanbase. To further her musical growth beyond her bedroom, Priscilla joined the Atlanta-based production company Power Entertainment, where she honed songwriting for herself and for other artists, impressing collaborators with her knack for quickly harnessing inspiration into unforgettable songs.
Recognized as an emerging talent and one-to-watch on the pop music scene, among Priscilla's first commercial partnerships is an advertorial campaign in Giant magazine and Kimora Lee Simmons' trendsetting Baby Phat line of fashion, footwear and accessories themed as 'The Road to Success'.
Priscilla Renea's debut album, 'Jukebox', is schedule for release later this year with production by several in-house Power Entertainment talents, along with Brian Kidd (Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull, Nappy Roots) and Soulshock and Karlin (Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Keyshia Cole, JoJo).
