Priscilla Ahn has been playing guitar since she was 14 and grew up in Pennsylvania. She considered studying music in college, but a professor advised her to pursue a career in music instead. And so she did. Her friends brought her to a recording studio where she met Amos Lee while he was recording his first EP and she became an intern. After that, she moved to L.A. and through a gig at The Hotel Café, she met singer-songwriter Joshua Radin. They liked each other's music and voices and he invited her to sing songs with him. They went on tour and she found a couple of days in between touring to record her first EP. After touring with Radin, she played a showcase for Blue Note. They liked her and she liked them and she became part of the Blue Note Records family.
I first stumbled upon Priscilla Ahn last year while writing about Allie Moss and Ingrid Michaelson. She was one of the artists under "Listeners Also Bought" and I immediately purchased her self-titled EP after listening to the samples. So, it's been almost a year since then and her full-length debut album, A Good Day, is being released today on Blue Note Records. Two of the tracks, "Dream" and "I Don't Think So," the former being her current single, were featured on her EP, but were re-recorded for the album. If you're a fan of Ingrid Michaelson, Jaymay, Rachael Yamagata, or similar artists, you'll definitely enjoy Priscilla Ahn. A Good Day has a nice blend of folk, country, pop, singer-songwriter type songs and Ahn has an amazing voice that can be listened to all day.
A Good Day is out now on Blue Note Records in stores and online. Just a heads up, the non-album track "We Were Free" is included with the album if bought from iTunes.
♥ "Wallflower" / "I Don't Think So" / "Leave the Light On" / "Find My Way Back Home"
