When Priscilla Ahn had her first child in 2015, motherhood became the main focus—even in her flourishing music career. She decided to briefly detour from the path she’d been traveling on as a singer/songwriter to make something that her newborn could enjoy: 2016’s La La La, a sweet, gentle album for children. And after that she decided to take some time off to enjoy just being a parent.

These days, Ahn swirls around all these thoughts and more, going back to her upbringing by an American father and a Korean mother—and her whirlwind career to date, which has found her in a range of various roles and projects. In the span of 13 years, she’s gone from landing a record contract with Blue Note Records in her early twenties to writing original music for a Studio Ghibli film (When Marnie Was There), as well as collaborating with acts like Sia and Tiesto, and touring with legends like Willie Nelson. Just this past year, she contributed backing vocals to a Nelson duet with Karen O of the David Bowie/Queen song “Under Pressure.”

A regular presence in the soundtrack world, including with a spot providing backing vocals for the Oscar-winning La La Land, Ahn is constantly being tapped for new ways to use her talents; this past year she even contributed remixes of her music to the meditation app Calm. In short, Ahn is open to whatever the world has to offer her as she starts this second wind of her life.
