Pryor had a very simple upbringing without most amenities such as heat or electricity. He spent his time playing guitar, listening to records and leading a blues band. Pryor dropped out of college, where he was studying fruit science, to pursue music. His band had success touring the blues world, however Pryor moved to Nashville wanting more. Paying the bills took precedence over music, but Pryor still tries to make time to perform. Pryor is excited to be here at "The Voice" to keep chasing his music dreams.
