Early life​

Born Priscilla Renea in rural Vero Beach, Florida in 1988. Her father was a member of the Navy.[9] She has stated she began singing at age two but was not comfortable with singing around people until she was older.[1][5] She later stumbled upon YouTube and began posting videos of her singing in her room. Her first video was a rendition of "Cry Me a River" she submitted to a contest whose winner would sing with Justin Timberlake at the Grammy Awards, albeit she did not win.[10] She recorded videos of herself singing the dictionary, and made her own songs independently.[1] Her channel eventually received over 30,000 subscriptions and she was given the opportunity to participate in MTV's Say What? Karaoke.[5]

Personal life​

Long has lived in Atlanta and subsequently Los Angeles since leaving Florida.[38][39] She has been diagnosed with lupus. She has cited bankruptcy, litigation, battles with former management, plus the "whirlwind of being dropped, re-signed then dropped again from a label" as creative catalysts for her work.[40][41][42]

Her song "Family Tree" was inspired by the time she was "kicked out of her family's home as a teenager".[34]

She attended Vero Beach High School, the same high school as Jake Owen.[43]
