Pryor is a singer-songwriter from Charlotte, NC who has been captivating audiences  with her  music and her soulful interpretations.  It is difficult to put Pryor’s music into one category, although country is her first love.  Her lyrics combined with her sultry, alto voice create a style that is alluring and simply her own. Her music paints a broad spectrum of emotions, from heartache to sassiness.

Pryor has been described as a singer who, “brings an unbelievable voice and style to every song she sings.”   As with any new artist, you try to compare Pryor to others, but it’s not easy.  You hear some Patsy Cline and lots of others, but her music hits you with its power and subtlety.  “It may bother some artists to be compared to others, but I take it as a compliment.  I just try to be myself, and let my music speak for itself," said Pryor.

Pryor grew up in a musical family. Her dad started out as a professional musician, and music was always a part of her childhood.  "I was exposed to all types of music growing up including the music written by my dad and his brother.  Their music has been a big influence on me."

Her first real interest in music began when she lived in Texas as a young girl.  While most of her friends were listening to the music of the day, Pryor was getting rooted in Hank, Patsy, Tammy and the modern country singers.  The Texas influence is clearly recognizable in her musical style, her songwriting and selection of material.  

Pryor has been living in Charlotte, NC for over ten years and it is there where she truly began to touch listeners with her smooth and engaging style, her powerful, rich voice and a stunning presence.  She has been performing throughout the Southeast and has been active in sharing her talents. On a lark Pryor entered a national country talent contest in 2000, and she was named Top New Country Performer in the Carolinas.  More recently Pryor enjoys sharing her music with her second grade students and a few older fans as well.

Pryor has released four independent CDs.  Her latest, "On Your Way Home,"  will be released in August of  2007.   The title track reveals her most mature sound to date. The rest of the CD follows the same soulful sound, but adds some more variety with songs like, "Jesus on a Greyhound" and "Walkin Away."  The CD was produced by Pryor and her dad, Bob Dawson

Her previous CDs are “It’s a Girl Thing,” “I’ve Moved On” and “Someday Soon”.  

"I love music, but I have lots of other interests, too.  Music is my passion, but who knows? Maybe in 40 years I will be doing something entirely different.  But I'll probably still be kicking back and singing.  It's what I love to do."
