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, 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.”
