But it’s been far from an easy road for the artist who counts Britney Spears and Katy Perry among her top influences. Years before working with Spears and Perry collaborator Bonnie McKee, Peach PRC was having a rough adolescence.Midway through high school, she dropped out of school due to troubles at home.
She went to live with her biological father and started dancing at clubs to make ends meet. Her father found out about it and kicked her out, leaving PRC homeless.
She danced for 4 years, during a time she calls “a series of unfortunate events, with one thing happening after the other.” She wound up in the hospital without a safe place to land.
