Singer and songwriter Priscilla Ahn has enjoyed a remarkable career since the 2008 launch of her debut album A Good Day. She now has seven albums under her belt, as well as many songs for television shows and films. Most recently, she was a voice to music in this year’s multiple-Oscar winning film La La Land.

Growing up in Pennsylvania in the United States, Ahn was an only child until the age of nine and spent a lot of time playing by herself. Much of her creativity draws on that time she spent in her imaginary world, playing pretend.
