The soundtrack of a fairytale

My name is Priscilla Hernández. I am a composer and singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist  and fantasy illustrator from the Canary Islands now based in Navarra  (Spain).  My music can be described as "Ethereal gothic" inspired in fairy and ghost tales and with a great component of fantasy.

Angelic voices, cinematic soundscapes, bitter and meaningful lullabies. Discover the spectral spellbinding dark side of fairy tales. Melodies that weave a fantastic and unknown kingdom. The light, the shade, the fairy, the ghost, the Underliving...

I've written songs all my life but it was a hidden passion till May 2002 when I encouraged myself to upload my first recording track to mp3.com: "I steal the leaves" and later a demo with the same title and other songs.  After collaborating in several projects and decline a wealth of record deals in order to keep the spirit of my work untouched. I released late 2006 my debut album "Ancient shadows" with the help of my fans and listeners and under my own company and label YIDNETH (which is also the name of my illustrated comic book project). The project achieved several nominations and awards and got hundreds of positive reviews in specialized publications worldwide. I have performed in different countries like USA, UK, Germany and Spain. The visuals of our performances are inspired in worlds of wonder and fantasy, carrying away the audience to a place where Light and Shadow collide, that mysterious place you know from your dreams, wrapped by the sound of heavenly vocals and ancient, exotic instruments. Me and my ensemble of musicians are looking forward to share our magic on stage with you so do not hesitate in contact for booking information.

 

Late 2011 I realeased my second album  "The Underliving" which I have worked for several years. It was released in a Digi-book format with 52 pages of illustrations and artworks.

Since then I've been releasing singles unofficially through youtube and bandcamp

In 2019 I released again officially Flame  in digital format. I'm working now in the release of my third fully illustrated album "Fear no More". Still independent under my label YIDNETH I've created a Patreon to support my releases.

- "This artist may be on the brink of defining a new style of music" (Gods of music)


 

"It still remains to be seen if she truly carves out an original image for herself and is more than the sum of her music influences, however Priscilla is definetly a rising talent worth watching and she is truly a gifted vocalist and lyrically is definetly a true poet. I think overall Priscilla has long term appeal and her vocal style is strong will work well accros multiple genres of music" (GODS OF MUSIC)

 

 

PRISCILLA HERNÁNDEZ: THE ILLUSTRATOR

Painting and illustrating is my major passion. "Yidneth" is not my artistic name but my own comic project. It consists of a 74 page comic-book which has been scripted, drawn and coloured by me. "Yidneth" is adult fairytale with the only purpose of bringing back that magic we lose when we leave our childhood behind. Sort of ghost-fairy cross-over. Yidneth is intended to be published as soon as finished. I have also drawn for books, fanzines and other publications. In my shop  you may find some available prints, books and even originals. And I'm always open for comissions and custom illustration work. You can also find my artworks and drawings in my music albums they're both illustrated music projects, specially The Underliving which was published as a digi-book mingling artworks with music.

A little bit more about me...

I like reading, writing, composing, drawing and fantasy, specially old illustrated fairytales books like those illustrated by Edmund Dulac, Edward Gorey,Arthur Rackham among others. I have a deep fascination for spectral gothic ghost tales, and feel particularly attracted by the dark side of folklore, fact I think that have spiced my art with a very moody and melancholic flavor. I hope you stay a while so you can get to know me and the things I enjoy making. Aside from singing I mostly play piano and keyboards, but also low whistle, recorder, hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer and others. And I'm learning to play the kantele, jouhikko, harp and other new instruments which sounds are being incorporated in my songs. My passion about rare instruments (some of my instruments can sponsors) can be found in my blog about music instruments Cool Music Instrument.
My label is called "YIDNETH" and comes from the name of my comic project. My co-partner in the company Héctor Corcín and I  are very involved in the independent way to promote music and art... the only way, doing it from the heart and going through the Long Way. I also like fantasy costuming and get dressed for my shows, so I keep also a blog about this called yourfantasycostume.

and what else!!! I love ANIMALS.. Both my CDs were dedicated to Kira, my beloved companion that I lost, she was my dog. I currently have 3 rats (fufunchis) who are 3 little starlets themselves.

And These are a few of my favorite things...!
