Priscilla Hernandez talks about her music and art

How would you describe your music?

My music is a film score I added vocals to. That's how I conceive it, I try to paint with music the landscapes my head creates in my mind, and thus I try to evolve and add different accents to it. Though the voice is my main instrument I keep on studying and learning new instruments, some rare and exotic and thus adding some sparks here and there to find my own signature. I'd say my music as my art is full of fantasy.

Best moments in your career?

The first time I was invited to perform in the USA and I travelled all the way to Oregon to Faerieworlds, it was like a hippy-fairy magic land and Brian Froud (an illustrator I've always admired) was there as a guest of honor too. I met lots of new friends that then became wolf-pack and family overseas... :) Also the first time I was on the cover of a magazine, and recently one sweet moment was performing in front of my brother Germán for the first time, he's always supported my career but hasn't seen me live with the ensemble, just messing about alone at home.

What inspires you and who have you been influenced by?

I like above all film music scores, it's what I seek for in my head when I create. I write stories, and I compose music for them as if they were a movie in my head. My favorite CD is The Dark Crystal soundtrack (fav movie too) and that's the music that really moves me. Vocally I have been greatly influenced by British band Tears for Fears, in fact I think I learnt to sing with Roland Orzabal trying to mimic really weird things he used to make with the voice LOL (he can sing opera did you know?) so he was right at my key most of the time.
