Tristan grew up along San Diego county's north coast. She was going to college a few years ago when her parents, believe it or not, encouraged her to drop out to pursue a music career.

We first aired our interview with Tristan Prettyman in March of this year. Shortly thereafter, her new album "Hello" debutted at number 27 among Billboard's Top 200 sales. Her song "Madly" was an iTunes' Single of the Week. She began our interview by singing that song.
