"I LOVE HEARING PRISCA. SHE INSPIRES... SO FRESH AND NEW, SO VULNERABLE AND RAW AND SO GOOD. I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR HER ALBUM. THERE ARE VERY FEW PEOPLE I CAN SAY THAT ABOUT." - KELLY CLARKSON
​
PRISCA is a soulful artist who is unapologetically showing all of her colors. Her magical versatility and strength as a vocalist, songwriter and piano player, create musical nuances that steal your breath as you experience her performance. PRISCA’s emotional intelligence is laced into the way that she uses her voice and writing which becomes the common thread in her music and her self-empowering messages.
As 1/4 of Bravo Ocean, including Grammy nominated Nick Chahwala, Charles Malone, and Swedish artist Ulrika, this soulful pop songstress and recording artist has been called upon to write for both independent and label artists in the likes of Justin Bieber, Christina Aguilera, Jessie McCartney, The Voice, American Idol and many others. She was hand picked by Kelly Clarkson to share the stage during her Piece by Piece tour, topped the charts with a #1 hit on iTunes for her song “Kamikaze” featured on KB’s album ‘100’, and has toured as a singer for Ben Folds during his symphonic orchestra concert series.
