Tristan Prettyman生于1982年5月23日是一位创作型民谣歌手,出生在加利福尼亚州的她小时候的兴趣是冲浪,12岁那年还参加了全美校园冲浪协会举办的高中部比赛,获得了第五名的好成绩. Tristan Prettyman 的第二张专辑“Hello”成为了这浮华眩目的圣迭哥的动情写照。她用烟熏过的低沉嗓音描述的那些关于生活、爱情和伤心回忆的故事是如此真实。原音吉他、悲哀的踏脚铁琴迸发出、呜呜的管风琴、电子琴和各种管弦乐器在拨弄下迸发出慵懒的旋律，“Hello”其实是Prettyman 的一次对6、70年代乡村布鲁斯和民谣的探索之旅，像“Madly”、“Echo”或者“Just A Little Bit”。 作为在伦敦与Martin Terefe (KT Tunstall 的制作人) 和 Sacha Skarbek (James Blunt, KT Tunstall 的制作人) 一起进行超过六周的录音工作的产物，Hello 保有着 Prettyman 05年深受好评的首张专辑“Twentythree”的那种如同 People 杂志介绍的那种“明快、清新的浪漫小调”的风格特色。 Tristan Prettyman (born May 23, 1982) is a singer-songwriter and former Roxy model from San Diego, California. She is signed to Virgin Records, and put out her first major label album “twentythree” on August 2, 2005 Tristan Prettyman was born and raised in the town of Del Mar located in San Diego County, California. Taking advantage of the town’s proximity to the ocean, she began surfing at the age of 12. She competed in the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) High School Division and earned fifth place in the state title while still in middle school. At 15, she was given a cassette of Ani DiFranco’s 1993 Puddle Dive by her half-brother’s friend. She played the album constantly and it still has great sentimental value to her. It serves as a reminder of when her musical ambitions started to blossom.[citation needed] Inspired by DiFranco’s music and due in part to her nature of being a self-described “nosy kid” she entered her parents’ room and began playing around with her father’s old acoustic guitar. Although her parents were initially angry with her for “taking” her father’s guitar, they eventually became supportive of her interest in music. She began playing in front of friends at their homes and they encouraged her to begin writing her own material. One night, while performing for some friends, an employee of the production company The Moonshine Conspiracy, run by surf filmmaker Taylor Steele and professional surfer Chris Malloy, heard her and asked Tristan to appear in the film the company was working on at the time entitled Shelter. Tristan’s song, “Anything At All” was chosen to be on the soundtrack. Prettyman began playing in clubs and bars throughout San Diego County before being invited to join fellow San Diegoan, and future boyfriend, Jason Mraz on his national tour. Prettyman spent winter 2004 in New York collaborating with producer Josh Deutsch who had worked with Mraz and Lenny Kravitz. Prettyman is half-sister to Cody McClintock, an independent film producer. Tristan credits her brother with much influence on her thinking and the title of her debut album twentythree pays partial homage to the “23 enigma”. A perceptual concept which refers to the abnormally high occurrence of the number 23 in daily life as described in the book Cosmic Trigger by Robert Anton Wilson, as derived from friend and fellow author William S. Burroughs. twentythree was released shortly after Tristan turned 23 on May 23 of 2005. It peaked at 24 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers chart. In 2006 she debuted many new songs in concert and has plans to head back into the studio after she wraps up her tour opening for Ray Lamontagne. Her official web site is currently under reconstruction, but she remains very actively involved in consistently updating her official MySpace profile and blog with stories from the road, streams of consciousness, and even a “musical” collaboration with fellow songwriters Anya Marina and Greg Laswell entitled “Lindsay Goes To Rehab,” a tongue-in-cheek but friendly tribute to Lindsay Lohan, who recently entered a rehabilitation facility “to take care of [her] personal health.” Hello, Tristan Prettyman's second album is an appealing portrait of this freewheeling San Diego, CA, native as she narrates stories about her life, loves and heartbreaks in her seductive, smoky alto. With laid-back melodies springing from finger-picked acoustic guitar, plaintive pedal-steel guitar, Wurlitzer, Hammond organ, and strings, Hello explores Prettyman's love of country-blues and folk from the '60s and '70s, on songs like the first single "Madly", as well as "Echo", and "Just A Little Bit". Recorded over six weeks in London with Martin Terefe (KT Tunstall) and Sacha Skarbek (James Blunt, KT Tunstall), Hello delivers on the promise Prettyman raised with her 2005 Virgin Records debut Twentythree- a critically well-received collection of "bright, breezy ditties about romantic bliss" as People magazine put it in its review. 英文名称：Hello
