Peach PRC (born 2 April 1998) is an Australian pop singer, songwriter, social media personality, and former stripper.

Early life

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 due to not wanting to type out the full word.[3] In an interview with Echo Magazine in May 2020, PRC 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, PRC acted in music videos, most notably appearing as the love interest in Ambleside's music video for "Wash Away" in 2016.[5]

Career

2019–2020: "Blondes" and TikTok popularity

On 19 June 2019, PRC independently released her debut single "Blondes".[6] She launched her TikTok page in September 2019, subsequently attracting an audience after posting content about her life, self-care advice, and her music.[7] Her second single "Colourblind" was released on 2 May 2020.[8] 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.[7] About the song, Peach 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."[7][9] The song debuted at number 38 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[10]

PRC's single "Symptomatic" is scheduled to be released on 25 June 2021.[11]

Personal life

Peach is openly 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."[12]

Relationship with Alex Williamson

On 28 April 2021, Peach made a post on social media, alleging abusive and predatory behaviour by her former boyfriend, comedian Alex "Shooter" Williamson.[13] Williamson responded in a series of stories on Instagram, claiming the allegations were "horse shit" and accusing Peach of domestic violence, recounting an incident in which she allegedly tried to kick down a door while he was on the toilet.[14] Williamson was subsequently dropped by his management a day later,[15] and the lineup of the Perth and Sydney comedy festivals on 3 May.[16]
