Millions know her for hilarious and heartfelt TikToks, Now NME present Peach PRC in long wide coverstory.
“Iactually feel delusional,” says Peach PRC. “It’s the weirdest thing to try and explain… Nothing feels real right now.”
The Australian pop artist speaks to NME and explain how she went from a kid in Adelaide/Kaurna land belting Britney songs to one of Australia’s most exciting pop stars today.
She’s one of only three Australian artists to top the country’s album charts in 2023 – and with an EP to boot. Her six-track debut,
‘Manic Dream Pixie’, was released to the coveted Number One spot in May, two years after she dropped her first official single. Her position at home cemented, Peach is now going worldwide – she’s just staged her first headlining shows in Los Angeles and New York, and this Sunday will support Blackpink at BST Hyde Park, which will be the K-pop titans’ first-ever UK festival.
“I was in high school and was like, ‘I want to be a pop star – that’s my career goal.’” Her well-meaning mother was a little concerned: “I remember my mum once said to me, ‘I think maybe we should have some more realistic dreams’.”
Was there a backup plan? “I never actually had one,” Peach laughs. “I ended up stripping, but that wasn’t really planned. I was staunch about it, I was like, ‘No, I’m going to be a pop star. I don’t know how, but I’m going to make it happen!’ And still to this day, I don’t know how the hell I pulled it off. I’ve gotten further than I ever thought I would – and I’m not really that far along – so I’m really stoked with everything that’s happened. I know it sounds cliché, but it really is a dream come true.” Read the full Cover Story HERE
