South African singer-songwriter Vaughn Prangley is carving out a unique path with his unmistakably deep, soulful and emotionally weathered voice, that speaks to a maturity way beyond his years. Fast becoming one of alternative/indie-pop’s most promising talents, Vaughn has been penning his own songs from as young as thirteen.
With his roots in the disciplined world of classical training, he reached a point where he felt he needed to scribble outside the lines, break some rules, and run the gauntlet of mistakes in order to create a sound that is truly his.
Hauntingly soulful and optimistic with simple guitar riffs and the backing of his incredibly talented band, Vaughn continues to prove that it is okay to be transparent with your emotions and share your successes and failures with the world – “Music is more of an outlet than an escape for me. My emotions are dealt with through music. I'm not afraid to share how I feel. No one should be. Vulnerability is important”. He admits that it’s not always easy laying your soul bare, but this also affords him the opportunity to uplift, inspire and have some fun with his listeners.
