Hey there! So good to meet you at Hivefest yesterday and chat about music, streaming and I love your funny story of how you ended up on a Karaoke stage outside the festival on the first day! Going to check out your music shortly - just wanted to say hi and pleased to meet you!

Hey it was my pleasure. Yes I totally ended in a karaoke room and didn't realize the people there were not from the fest lol 🤣 thinks about the chat on the brainstorming I am really looking forward to stream again, sometimes I do spontaneously from Instagram but I want to go back to decent sound and obs. I'm sure you can find me as Priscilla Hernandez on Spotify and so on but I think a good first stop is my YouTube channel and I'm going to totally check you as well.
Pleased to meet you and we are in touch around here
Hahaha I love that you managed to get lost and end up in a Karaoke room - even in VR!
I'm enjoying watching your music videos right now! I'm on YouTube as well but haven't really put much there. I've been mostly active on Instagram and Twitch, but now I'm on Hive I would say I'm more active on Hive than anything else!
I do have a track with lyrics that I co-wrote with singer/songwriter Rocco -
Otherwise most of my work is instrumental - and I have a track coming out next week so I'll be posting a lot about that real soon...
Aw yes I saw you stopped by youtube, thanks, also added you on ig as I am not much at twitch (yet). Pleased to meet you at hivefest and well encouraged to stream hopefully soon
Your friend Rocco channels kind of cyndi lauper vibes.
Ah great - thanks for connecting! I'll pass that on to Rocco - I think she'll like it ;)
I really mean it as compliment though as a singer myself comparisons are a double edged thing, we are all unique, it is natural that our voices sometimes recall what others find them close to, that does not necessarily tells who truly influenced us. Say hi on my behalf
Haha yeah - totally get that about comparisons being a double edged thing - for singers - the voice is so personal! It's a bit like saying someone looks like someone - VERY subjective!
What singers have you been compared to before?
Oh yes many times, when I started out I got a really bad review that called me a wannabe Tori Amos (hands down total respect for her, I found her to be really super interesting, and also made me discover Kate Bush (hands down for innovation) but I knew not much of her work at that moment. I also get lots of Enya and Loreena MacKennit and same, kudos to them for making New Age mainstream, but in true honest I listened to very few sung music when I was a child... I was more into film music and scores (Jerry Goldsmith, Trevor Jones, Bruce Broughton, well so many), also early synthetizer (Vangelis, Jarre, Eno). My favourite band is Tears for Fears, but I have a weakness for male voices when sung music (Bowie, Sting...) and of course you know I like Mike Oldfield too. About female vocalists I really love Liz Fraser from Cocteau Twins but well if you don't know her, believe me she's unique and impossible to imitate hahah :) I was not a singer to start with, I was the shy composer/keyboardist that ended up singing, and honestly I love singing now but I just did the way it was intuitive for me. Orzabal (from Tears for Fears) was a heavy influence honestly.
