Ethereal gothic singer-songwriter, composer and fantasy illustrator born in Spain. A world of fantasy: dark fairy tales, romantic ghost stories, and "other creatures" that dwell in the boundaries between dream and awareness inspired by her personal experience with sleep paralysis, night horrors and hypnagogia... old fears and passions... ancient shadows
Her debut album, Ancient Shadows is presented in a DELUXE EDITION in a three folded digipack, with two fully illustrated booklets (32 pages)and a collection of 19 illustrated song-tales that take you to a ride through the haunting and spectral realm she creates with her sorrowful eerie but sensuous music, led by an angelic and silky voice that invites you to shed your own cultivated defences. Wistful, evocative, pure and meaningful.

Ancient Shadows (the ghost and the fairy) is inspired by old fairy books and gothic literature: haunted houses, mourning willows, nymphs,vengeful fairies, ghosts fluttering like moths around the living... A world of spectral romance and intense melancholia. Also, her personal experience with sleep paralysis, night horrors and hypnagogia is a constant influence in her lyrics.
Often compared to Tori Amos. Kate Bush and Enya, Priscilla claims to be nourished by Tears for Fears (Orzábal lyrics), Cocteau Twins and most importantly her fascination for film scores and soundtracks. Still she truly carves out an original image for herself and is more than the sum total of her music influences creating an unique and personal soundscape that is difficult to put a finger on or describe.

Just Plain Wonderful!
author: Robert Waldbauer
Priscilla Hernandez -- I was first introduced to her music via Mystic Age Internet Radio, and have the great pleasure of having her as a 'friend' on EnchantedFolk.com. I found her music to be not only ethereally enchanting, but always a superior performance as well. Of the many albums from various artists I possess, "Ancient Shadows" has become my all-time favourite, and I am constantly introducing others to her music. Well done, Priscilla -- this album gets a definite 5 stars from me, and more if it were possible!

Best concept album by an Indie artist...
author: MarkR
A 63 minute journey into the dark world of fantasy and dreams. The music stirs the emotions, and the lyrics compel one to think on a profound level. This is one of the best concept albums I have heard in a long time!
