In Fact She Wasn’t Trying To Change The World But Merely Satisfy Her Own Muse “I Started Writing My Own Songs Because There Wasn’t Anything On The Radio That I Wanted To Hear ” Says Renea. “And When I Discovered YouTube That Added A Whole New Side To My Singing. It Made My Bedroom Performances Into Live Broadcasts.. “My Mom Always Tells Stories About How She Would Walk In The Living Room And Think It Was The TV Singing But Realize It Was Me " Renea Reveals. “I Was Two Or Three Years Old Then!” Indeed In Growing Up Family Was Renea’s Exclusive Audience. A Child Of The Navy She Bounced In And Out Of Twenty Schools Before Finally Landing In Vero Beach. Lasting Friendships Were Hard To Come By. In Turn She Took Solace In The Blank Page Writing Poetry Prose Spoken Word Pieces And Of Course Songs. Into The Compositions Went The Energy And Emotion Typically Invested In Relationships “When I Write My Songs They're Always Vivid Stories Very Quirky And Have A Lot Of Personality And Character In Them.” She Also Taught Herself Both Piano And Guitar And Endeavored Choirs And Musical Theater As Much As Her Nomadic Lifestyle Would Allow. YouTube Was A Revelation—a Constant And Enduring Following No Matter Where Renea Went In The World. In 2007 Priscilla Doffed The Webcam And The Bedroom Carpet For The Hefty TV Cameras And Grand Stage Of MTV And Their Say What? Karaoke Show. Fans Accustomed To Seeing Her In A Small YouTube Window Reveled In Her Fullscreen Frivolity. And Certainly The Effect Was Cyclical And Reciprocal Appearing On MTV Pushed Her YouTube Hits To 1.7 Million And Her MySpace Listenership To Over Half A Million. Public Opinion Had Been Levied.

Though The Songs Strike Disparate Dulcet Chords What Resonates Throughout Is Priscilla Renea’s Uncanny Songwriting Chops Honed In A Mere Twenty Years Of Earthly Orbit. “I've Always Had A Way With Words ” She Confesses. “I Write Songs That People Can Relate To When I Sit Down With My Guitar It Sparks My Creativity And It's Easy For Me To Pick Out A Melody And Write.” Considering Her Penchant For Penning Entire Tunes In Ten Minutes —earning Her The Nickname “The Quickness” —she Makes It Sound So Tantalizingly Easy. Her Lauded Writing Work For Luminaries Such As Brandy And Shakira Stands As Evidence. The Legions Of Discarded Singer/songwriters In Her Wake Would Attest Otherwise. Priscilla Renea Has Now Aligned Herself With The Atlanta-Based Production Team Power Entertainment T.I. Ludacris In Support Of Her Forthcoming Full¬length Debut On Capitol Records Jukebox. It’s A Fitting Title For Musical Fare That Wends From Whimsical To Worldly To Weighty With Equal Aplomb.
