Who doesn’t love a good mash up? In this one, Priscilla Renea does an acoustic rendition of Chris Brown‘s “I Can Transform Ya” and Owl City‘s “Fireflies.”

It sounds pretty different when you take all the electronic stuff out of those tunes, but that’s what makes her cover so awesome.

She’s currently featured on MTV’s Discover and Download.

Priscilla Renea is a prime example of how media has turned a corner in the age of the internet.  Her major label release, Hello, My Apple comes on the heals of an overwhelming surge in popularity due to a substantial amount of self promotion through the her YouTube channel.  With over one million views on a handful of her videos and 30,000 channel subscribers, Capitol Records quickly realized that they had a star in the making on their hands.

Renea, who harbored dreams of being a star on Broadway throughout her high school career, discovered in her senior year her craft of writing hook laced pop singles.  Renea threw all her momentum into songwriting and social networking with potential fans.
