Tristan Prettyman, a San Diego native, has come a long way since she discovered her dad's guitar and taught herself to play at age 15.

After catching some local attention, she was asked to contribute a song to the 2001 surf film "Shelter". Soon Prettyman was performing at clubs and bars around San Diego, selling her EP, The Love EP, at shows and on her website.

From there, the major labels came calling and Prettyman signed with Virgin Records, who released Twentythree in August of 2005. Critics praised its low-key acoustic folk-pop with Rolling Stone leading the pack, calling Prettyman "one of the more promising young pop folkies."

Her sophomore album, Hello, was released in April of 2008 and entered the Billboard Top 200 sales chart at No. 27. The first single "Madly" was the iTunes Single of the Week and the complete Hello album download immediately spiked to the No. 2 position in overall iTunes album sales.

After having taken almost a year off from touring and recording, Tristan is getting ready for a 20-city tour throughout the U.S as well as working on her third Virgin Records release with famed producers Sacha Skarbek and Martin Terefe.
