Biography
British-born and of Jamaican descent, Precious is a multi-talented rapper/MC, songwriter, producer and videographer offering an eclectic style that synthesises Hip-hop, Reggae and Garage music. Despite music being the current outlet for her creative innovations throughout the years, Precious has studied Performing arts, creative craft, and multimedia applications. Precious' personal history entails active engagement within the fields of fashion design, dance and performance. Evidencing this is the fact that Precious was crowned Birmingham's 2005 Carnival Queen in addition to her performances at The Drum Birmingham, throughout 2001-2005.
Servicing to influence Precious' love of music from an early age, her father; Frederick Waite Sr, was a member of the Techniques, a Jamaican reggae troupe. Moreover, the artiste is the younger sibling of Patrick Waite (bassist) and Frederick Waite Jr. (original frontman then drummer), 2 key members of Birmingham's own Grammy-nominated, British-Jamaican group Musical Youth; well-known for their 1982 hit 'Pass the Dutchie'. Precious now follows in her brothers' footsteps, with NME describing Frederick Waite as "a musical legend, who inspired many young musicians over the last 40 years", upon his tragic passing in mid-2022.

(Ref, yr).
Precious combines elements of Hip-Hop, Reggae and Garage, creating her own alternative genre, which captures and reflects a nostalgic feeling. Appreciating both classic and modern acoustics and lyrics, Precious is able to tap into subject matters that are lyrically relatable, utilising themes that resonate strongly with wider audiences of music listeners. Some of these include the impact of grief and loss, the challenges of single motherhood and coming from humble beginnings.
Her music and lyrics are constantly being enhanced through Precious' commitment to music production development. Since 2017, starting out as a hobby, Precious has been producing short music videos, creating footage and editing all of the content independently. She applies these skills to incorporate and enhance her music so that her listeners can not only hear but also simultaneously visualise the stories, her lyrics tell. Currently, Precious is studying at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Birmingham, ad she is pursuing a BA Hons in Creative Artistry.
"Precious is an exciting artist with an excellent work ethic and drive. She combines a unique blend of styles, mixing her lyricism with catchy melodic hooks and wordplay. She has impressed in a studio setting but also with her own productions, demonstrating her creative flair and ear for music. Precious is a great collaborator as well and brings positivity to the group scenarios, motivating those around her " - Joel Harris
