Priscilla Renea

A singer and songwriter who has enjoyed success in the public eye and behind the scenes, Priscilla Renea Hamilton -- known first as Priscilla Renea, and then as Muni Long -- went from making videos in her bedroom to becoming an accomplished songwriter and solo artist. The native Floridian developed a sizeable online following with videos showcasing her work. This led to a record deal and her first album, a dance-pop effort titled Jukebox (2009), and then success as a co-writer of hits for Rihanna ("California King Bed"), Fifth Harmony ("Worth It"), and Kesha ("Timber"), among others. Hamilton paused her solo career until she returned with Coloured (2018), dominated by strong, emotionally mature R&B with hints of country and gospel. Shifting gears under the name Muni Long, she has emphasized contemporary R&B with a batch of EPs including Public Displays of Affection (2022), featuring the platinum single "Hrs & Hrs."
