Music is my whole life.
Whether I'm performing in stadiums or I'm in a studio writing for someone
or like teaching guitar lessons,
it's just something that's always going to be there.
When I'm rational, when I'm sober. Up.
And when my name's Prentiss.
I'm 15. I've been making music for five years.
I was posting music to SoundCloud just so my friends could hear it.
And then around 13, I dropped the song October and I put it on all platforms.
People started liking it like other people on the internet started liking it.
It was up to like 100,000 plays.
It was it was wild.
Mark Hoppus noticed October because I shouted out blink 182 and the song.
And then Justin Bieber posted Hazel eyes when I was still, like, unsigned.
He came in one day and he said, I have a manager.
And we're like, for what?
That's sort of when we figured out why this could be serious.
I mean, this is all done in his bedroom and with his internet connection through C Spire.
C Spire Fiber has helped me connect to anybody in this world
that makes any type of music.
I was making music with my Canadian friend on discord in real time,
and I was like, damn, it's like that.
It was exactly like being in the studio.
How easy it is transfer and how fast it is to transfer files
makes it so easy to make music on my computer.
It was a song that's coming out called Tunes to Fight.
I actually started outside on my porch with my guitar
and I was like, oh, this is a cool little melody.
Came in, produced it out within like two hours.
You stole my computer.
That's what I love about having a home studio and having access to all this.
We both work from home.
Coupled with Prentice's music and his schoolwork.
It is pretty amazing.
This is a good example. Today I've been on zoom calls all day.
Prentice is doing his online school.
Denise's doing her, you know, real estate business online.
So we're all constantly on air.
We went up to meet the label.
They sat us at a big table and told us how much they want to print it,
and Prentiss knew exactly what he wanted.
What I've realized is the musical speaker itself.
I've been working on my album for the past eight months now.
I'm just really excited to have an album that people can listen to front to back.
I just want to continue to grow.
As long as I keep that goal.
It'll just go in the right direction.
You used to fly out to New York to work with producers,
or to talk with record companies.
Now it's all from just the top of the button in your own home.
It's just something I don't need to worry about.
I have the creative side and like C Spire, got the whole internet side.
