Early life

Peach PRC was born on 2 April 1997 in Australia.[1][2] PRC grew up in the southern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. She chose her stage name due to her love of the colour pink, as a homage to Princess Peach, using the title during her time performing as a stripper. An abbreviation for porcelain, she began using the suffix PRC on TikTok because to type out the full word would be too long of a name.[3]

In an interview with Echo Magazine in May 2020, Peach said: "I've been interested in music for as long as I could talk, really. I've always sang and wrote songs and even have songs written from when I was like 8 years old."[4]

In her early career, Peach acted in music videos, most notably appearing as the love interest in Ambleside's music video for "Wash Away" in 2016.

Other popular songs include Colourblind and Heavy.

Career

2019–2020: "Blondes" and TikTok popularity

On 19 June 2019, PRC independently released her debut single "Blondes".[5] She created a TikTok account in September 2019, subsequently attracting an audience after posting content about her life, self-care advice, and her music.[6] Her second single "Colourblind" was released on 2 May 2020.[7] She said that the inspiration for the song "came from [her] synesthesia and mine happens to be with colours and music; so I wanted to write a song that involved the colours I saw when singing it."[4]

2021–present: "Josh" and Republic Records signing

On 21 February 2021, The Music Network confirmed PRC had signed with Island Records in Australia and Republic Records in the US. Her debut major label single "Josh" was released on 26 February 2021.[6] Discussing the song, PRC said: "It's very special to me, because it captured a real moment. I was a bit down when I was writing one day. My ex, Josh, kept calling me over and over again. He called all of the time, because he was trying to get back with me. I thought I had blocked him though. Since he didn't stop bothering me, I wrote the song about him. It's a true story, but it's meant to be fun and colourful."[6][8] The song debuted at number 38 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[9] On 25 June 2021, PRC released the single "Symptomatic".[10] On 22 October 2021, PRC released a surprise single" I've Been Bad, Santa" with a B-side "Christmas Kinda Sucks".[11] On 5 November 2021, PRC released the single "Heavy".[12]

Personal life

PRC is bisexual. On 9 February 2021, she featured on Abbie Chatfield's It's a Lot podcast, where she discussed coming to terms with her sexuality, stating; "every gay person I knew, or bi person, was like 'yeah I always knew. I've known it since I was little.' I don't remember knowing from a young age that I liked girls."[13] She has stated many times that she is not comfortable having her name released to and used by the general public.

Relationship with Alex Williamson

On 28 April 2021, PRC made a post on social media, alleging abusive and predatory behaviour by her former boyfriend, Australian comedian Alex "Shooter" Williamson.[14] Williamson responded in a series of stories on Instagram, claiming the allegations were "horse shit" and accusing PRC of domestic violence, recounting an incident in which she allegedly tried to kick down a door while he was on the toilet.[15] Williamson was subsequently dropped by his management a day later,[16] and the lineup of the Perth and Sydney comedy festivals on 3 May.[17] Williamson has rebuked all claims.[18] Following the allegations against him, Instagram removed Williamson's profile.[19] Williamson claimed this was the second time PRC had attempted to "deplatform" him, after which PRC removed the posts.[19]
