Early life

Preyah was born in Sofia in 1994 to a Bulgarian mother and a Nigerian father, who passed away when she was a child. Her mother Sabina worked in Cyprus when Preyah was 13 years old, so they could pay the mortgage on their apartment.

Career

Early career

Preyah was part of a vocal group in her childhood. In 2011 she appeared on the first season of Bulgarian X Factor, but only made it through the boot camp stage.[2] In 2013 she joined the Music Academy show, where she was eliminated in the semifinals, though the producers of the show Monte Music offered her a contract nevertheless.

2013–2018: Debut single and Monte Music releases

Preyah's debut single with Billy Hlapeto Malkite Neshta was released in 2014 and immediately became the most played video on Bulgarian TV in its debut week.[3] The song was originally recorded as Guilty Pleasure Store, and had been previously performed by Preyah with Smooth during the 2012 Spirit of Burgas festival. Her first individual single was Nyuansi, completed in early 2015.
