Peach PRC on stardom, synaesthesia and sexuality: ‘There was so much joy and fun in stripping’
TikTok sensation Shaylee Curnow, known to millions for her viral content, has recently unveiled her debut album, *Porcelain*. This release marks a significant departure from her previously vibrant, candy-coloured, and deeply online aesthetic.
After dedicating a large portion of her adult life to the digital realm, Shaylee Curnow, more famously known as Peach PRC (or simply Peach), has now embraced a phase rooted in nature. While living in various Airbnbs across Sydney in search of creative sparks, the musician found herself exploring local neighborhoods, often pondering "what sort of trees the council was planting."
Eventually settling into her own home, complete with a modest courtyard and garden now familiar to her 2.2 million TikTok followers, she began volunteering at a local bush reserve alongside "all the little retired locals."
"I felt a profound connection to nature and the beauty it offered," Peach reflects. "And that, in turn, has opened up an entirely new world of musical inspiration."
