Sitting in a Perth lodge room in rainbow daisy pyjamas along with her pink hair swept up, pop princess Peach PRC talks about her dream of someday collaborating with US actuality star and fellow singer Paris Hilton.
The 26-year-old — born Shaylee Curnow — is on her first Australian tour following her debut EP Manic Dream Pixie, which final week was the No.1 album on the ARIA charts.
“I was stoked, I found out there was a high chance (it would happen) the day before but didn’t want to get my hopes up,” the Adelaide singer tells Today forward of her sold-out Perth gig on the Astor Theatre on Thursday.
“I got told and I celebrated with a meat pie from the servo and sat with my dog. It was great.”
Maybe her subsequent album will function a collab with Paris Hilton as the 2 already share a particular connection after the 42-year-old fan-girled over Peach’s music Perfect For You.
Hilton responded to the observe, which references her 2006 music Stars Are Blind, with a video of her duetting on the music on TikTok, and wished to take heed to the total music earlier than Peach launched it.
“I’m over the Moon that she loves the song because she’d actually reached out to my team wanting to hear the whole thing because she was apparently a fan of it,” she says.
“I really look up to her. She’s just such an angel and she’s complimented my songwriting before and I know she’s wanting to get back into music so I would love to get on board with her.”
She’s already teamed up with Katy Perry’s songwriter Bonnie McKee for Forever Drunk and Tones & I producer Konstantin Kersting for F U Goodbye, however different artists on her collab bucket-list embrace Kesha and if the possibility ever arose, Doja Cat; “I’m just shooting for the stars,” she stated.
“I love to just tell a story and make it rhyme and that’s how I write my songs. And sometimes they’re really deep and earnest and serious and other times they’re goofy.”
At the time of writing, Peach’s EP was the one Australian launch to make it into the highest 50 album chart.
The former stripper rose to fame on TikTok in 2019 after her candid movies about psychological well being and honesty went viral.
Peach stated she had hit some extent in her life the place she didn’t care about what different individuals needed to say about her.
“(Joining TikTok) was something where I just kind of had nothing to lose and was like, Why do I care? Why do I care about being cringe? Why am I so afraid of being seen as cringy or embarrassing or sharing too much?” she stated.
“I just have too much to say and I don’t have time to be pretty to say it. So I think people really gravitated to that sort of authenticity, and I gravitate to that as well when I see other people doing it, somehow in this whirlwind of the Internet became what it is now.”
Acoustic variations of early tracks like Blondes caught the eye of music business leaders and 4 years later, Peach resides her dream and taking her bubblegum-pink military of followers alongside for the experience.
With her first Australian tour wrapped up, Peach stated it felt surreal to be up on stage and look out to a sea of pink, sequins and fairy costumes.
“Some people will full-on upstage me with their outfits. I’m like, “Yes, I finally don’t feel like the most overdressed person in the room for once”,” she stated.
When requested what she could be doing if she wasn’t on the market having her popstar moments she answered: “I’d probably still be stripping, I don’t have the work ethic.”
“Or maybe back doing makeup artistry, oh, maybe writing songs for other people, that’d be something cool to do,” she stated.
Peach praised TikTok for its success in launching the careers of different artists corresponding to Lil Nas X, Dove Cameron and Loren Gray.
“I love that there’s now so much accessibility because there is so many hidden gems out there that we’ve maybe missed out on all these years prior to the internet having such an influential impact, I think now I’m seeing so many incredible artists that I might have never heard of if I wasn’t on TikTok,” she stated.
“I’m biased. It’s given me a huge opportunity, but I think the world is changing that way and I think we’ve got to change with it and keep up.”
Peach is now working in direction of her subsequent album and getting pumped for the Aussie BBQ Summerstage—a mini-festival held at New York City’s Central Park celebrating Australian music.
“I’ve got lots of travelling, lots of writing coming up, and hopefully, there’ll be something even bigger and better next time,” she stated.
