The similarity comes in the way the platform serves as a springboard for countless musicians eager to launch their career. One of these musicians is Australian TikToker turned pop singer Peach PRC, who's the latest to make the leap from social media to the mainstream charts.
Peach began using TikTok in the same way most of us do, sharing silly videos among friends, and before long, a following grew. While she could have continued solely using TikTok for fun, she wasn't going to miss her chance to be heard." had to find a sneaky way to weave my music into my videos," Peach says. "Blondes' was the first song I dropped on TikTok and I was talking about a tattoo I'd gotten for the song. People were asking about the tattoo and I explained that it's actually for a song I wrote about this girl who had a boyfriend. I thought that if I put the song out, she would leave him. But she didn't."
Although Peach was unsuccessful in winning over the girl, she decided to pay homage to her song "Blondes" with a commemorative tattoo. She began getting tattoos for her songs and this has become an honored tradition she's continued for each single she's created. “In my song 'Blondes,' the chorus goes, 'Call your boyfriend,' and it's implied she would break up with him," Peach says. "At the time, she and I had gotten together, but she had a boyfriend, so I wrote that song. Then I got a tattoo of a girl on the phone and she's saying, 'l prefer blondes,' which is a line from the song."
