Priscilla Block may have been discovered on the social app Tik Tok singing songs, but she knew at a young age music was going to be her career path. She began her journey before she could even drive a car.

“Because I wasn’t going to be a doctor, I wasn’t going to be a lawyer. I mean I wasn’t the schoolgirl. I wasn’t, at all, ever,” says Priscilla. “You know, I picked up the guitar when I was 15 and I started writing songs, and immediately I knew that was what I wanted to do, and I was like, ‘I think I’m kinda good at this.’ And, what better place to go to than Nashville, baby?”

Priscilla, who was just named as one of CMT’s Next Women of Country, is currently scaling the country charts with her single, “Just About Over You.”

Priscilla Block has been singing and performing ever since she can remember, including church performances and even “shows” in front of her four siblings. There’s something about singing that gives the North Carolina native confidence in herself.

“I would make my siblings sit down and they had to listen to me sing songs growing up,” says Priscilla. “But yeah, I mean when I started singing and performing in front of people, whether it was in church or any of the first little shows that I played, it was a feeling that I never felt before. I felt good enough. I felt just kind of like in a different world, and I loved it. I loved it, ‘cause I’ve gone through times where I don’t feel good enough, but when I get up and sing, all that goes away and I feel so good.”

Priscilla has cracked the Top 40 with her single, “Just About Over You.”

Priscilla Block is as real as it gets, and that realness slices right through when listening to her songs of life, love, lost love, heartbreak, body parts (“Thick Thighs”) and her everyday experiences (“PMS”). The newcomer was discovered when she hit No. 1 on iTunes with her now country single, “Just About Over You,” which she originally posted on Tik Tok. The tune, which is based on a true story of running into her ex at a local Nashville watering hole, was really championed by her followers and fans on the social platform. You can also catch her on Tik Tok singing country songs from some of her favorite country artists.

She says listening to country music makes her feel ALL the emotions. ““Listening to country music makes me feel every emotion in the world, whether I’m sad or happy. I remember the first time I heard ‘Stupid Boy,’ and there was just something about that song that moved me completely. This is why I write country music.”

“Just About Over You” is currently climbing the country charts.

Priscilla Block is one of five children, and she says her favorite Christmas gift was one Santa Claus brought to all of the kids.

“My favorite Christmas gift as a kid was the day we got a trampoline. Omigosh. It was so exciting,” says Priscilla. “Santa had it set up outside, and I don’t think we finished unwrapping our presents. We were so excited to get out on that trampoline. We slept on the trampoline that night. We had so many sleepovers growing up on our trampoline, and that was the best Christmas present ever.”

The North Carolina native says her family just hangs out all day on Christmas Day after opening gifts and eating breakfast. “During Christmas, my mom gets all the cereal that we love. We do breakfast bagels. Every single Christmas, we’ll have breakfast bagels. And usually we’ll just have leftovers all day. We eat all day long for Christmas, and it’s great. We stay in our jammies. We don’t do a whole fancy dinner. We just eat whatever’s in the house and watch movies all day. It’s fun.”

Priscilla is currently climbing the country charts with her single, “Just About Over You.” The singer-songwriter also releases a video of her performing “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” and you can watch it below.

Priscilla Block is scorching up the airwaves with her major record label debut, “Just About Over You,” which is a true-to-life story about running into her ex-boyfriend at a local Nashville watering hole.

“It is so crazy how real this happened,” says Priscilla. “It was the weekend I was moving out (of my apartment), I basically got kicked out; I couldn’t afford my rent. We were like, ‘Let’s just go get a drink. This weekend has been too much. Let’s just go.’ Go to Losers, see my ex as soon as I walk in, and you know, it was just kind of one of those moments that I walked in, and I was like, ‘You know what? I’m good. Like I really am good.’ And then as the night goes on, the drinks start hitting a little bit, and I was like, ‘Dang, maybe I’m not.’ (laughs) The whole song is like a mental mind game. You’re like is it the alcohol? Do I really miss them? Am I just putting a band-aid over it? What is it? How am I actually feeling about this? You know, I had written that idea down, went back home, we talked to my mom about it and whatever, and a couple of days later, we ended up writing that song over Facetime with two of my girlfriends, just exactly how it happened.”

Written by the Raleigh, North Carolina native with Emily Kroll and Sarah Jones, the song was first released independently through the support of her dedicated fanbase who rallied together to finance the recording after hearing Priscilla play around with the song on her socials. Priscilla, astounded by the response, then saw the song shoot to the top of the iTunes all genre song chart within 12 hours.

Priscilla was recently featured in Billboard. Read the article here.

Rising country star Priscilla Block releases the official music video for “Just About Over You.” In the video, directed by Logen Christopher, Priscilla depicts the real-life scenario behind the heartbreak singalong she wrote with Emily Kroll and Sarah Jones after a late-night run in with her ex.

“It’s the whole idea when you think you’re over someone and you get to that point of ‘alright, I think I’m good,’” explains Priscilla. “And then, BAM!!! A train hits you and you’re like, ‘I thought I was good, but I’m not,’” she says with a laugh. “I hope people crank up the radio and scream out at their ex like, ‘why’d you have to do that – I was good until you messed it up!’”

Hosting live chats on TikTok and YouTube leading into tonight’s premiere, Priscilla was able to share her excitement and visit with all those who have been on this journey with her since day one. Before signing with Mercury Nashville, Priscilla released “Just About Over You” independently with only the support of her dedicated fanbase who rallied together to finance the recording after hearing Priscilla sing the song on her socials. “Just About Over You” shot to the top of the iTunes all genre song chart within 12 hours of its release and it is now her first ever country single nearing Top 40 on the airplay charts. Priscilla is currently working and recording new music for her debut project on Mercury Nashville / InDent Records.
