Precious Pepala is a British singer-songwriter from Sheffield, England.[1] whose work focuses on Dark Pop, Rock, and Soul music.[2]

Career

Pepala's first public recognition happened in 2021, when she was only 17 years old; her TikTok cover of the song Water Fountain by Alec Benjamin went viral, gaining 2.3 million views.[3] After her viral video, Pepala's debut in the music industry, came in 2022 with her single "My Eyes Only".[4] Her second single "Looking for Trouble"[5] released through Darkroom Records, was released with the intent of discussing rape Culture and Victim Blaming.[6]

Her third single, "Voices",[7] released mid year in 2022, focused on the mental health spectrum and how losing control can be fearful.[8] In an interview with NYLON, Pepala explained that the lyrics of the song was focused on the feelings of being left alone with your own thoughts. She also says she thinks lots of people must have related to her and her songs at some point, and how after pandemic peoples lives were flipped upside down.[3] The song was also included in Rolling Stone's Songs You Need To Know This Week.[9]

In 2025 she released the single "First Love", co-written and co-produced with Eg White and Jordan Rabjohn under Modern Sky UK. The single talks about the other side of romance, the grief, jealously and guilt.[10] Later that year, she released her second Ep "Dark Days", making it her stay in the label.[11]
