Beaton grew up at 8 Mile until her parents separated when she was six years old. Her mother rejected her father's marriage proposal and married another man. Beaton has the logo of her biological dad's hair salon on her hand, Beaton Colors. He was her first introduction to Rock N Roll as a child and growing up she would always be with him backstage at fashion shows and photo shoots. When she was 15 years old she discovered her dad had cancer, he died when she was 16. Beaton was so hurt by the experience she was expelled from schools for fighting against people making fun of her situation, she later ran away from home and started doing drugs, drinking and begging on the streets.
At 16, Beaton moved to Ann Arbor, MI, where, attracted by her volatile charm, some University of Michigan students let her crash at their dorm for six months. Then she went on the road with Armor for Sleep, whose drummer, Nash Breen, is a childhood friend. When Beaton returned to Detroit, she quit doing drugs and talked another friend into road-tripping with her to New York.
“My dad wanted to take me there for my 16th birthday and never got to do it, so I wanted to go for him,” Beaton says. “We checked into the W Hotel in Times Square and this lady came up to me and said, ‘Are you in a band?’ And I said, ‘Yeah,’ even though I hadn’t recorded anything yet.” The woman introduced Beaton to her manager, who was struck by her appearance and personality, he told her to move to Los Angeles and look him up when she turned 18. Eighteen months later, Beaton packed a suitcase and bought a ticket to Los Angeles.
After moving out of Detroit Beaton had an audition for the Virgin Records CEO who then quickly signed her to Virgin Records, she had explained the type of music she wanted to do but when she presented the Porcelain And The Tramps album to them they refused to release it. The album demos she released online garnered over 30 million views on MySpace and YouTube. She was then stuck on a major label RedOne that refused to release her music and refused to let her leave the label. Beaton was in a legal lawsuit with the label for 3 years. She was approached by Interscope, Republic Records, Dr. Luke and RedOne who wanted to sign her out the contract.
Beaton chose RedOne’s label 2101/RedOne Records, as he convinced her the releases would go smoothly and would let her experiment with her sound and not have to water it down. In truth RedOne didn’t had much dedication to any of the artists signed to his label as most would go on years without being allowed to release any material. One of Beaton's label mates cites RedOne as a man that cares more about what's gonna be a hit on the radio than music itself.
After having enough of mistreatment Porcelain Black cut all ties with RedOne and started recording her debut album independently. She has released a debut album called ‘313’. The album title refers to the area code of Detroit, the city where she was raised.
Sidenote: The "Self-titled E.P." isn't Beaton's. It's by a band named Porcelain Black before Beaton started with the name.

"Pretty Little Psycho" by Porcelain Black is an uptempo pop/rock song about a woman who sees a man that she is extremely attracted to and she is determined to have him no matter what. The lyrics are written in a seductive and confident tone as the singer describes how she is willing to take risks and go after what she wants, even if it means ignoring rejection. She compares herself to a "pretty little psycho," which suggests that she is aware of the madness and unpredictability of her behavior, but is also comfortable with it, believing that it is what makes her attractive and intriguing to this man.
The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as it begins with "Oh, oh, oh, Oh, here we go." This creates a feeling of excitement and anticipation, which is further reinforced by the repetition of the phrase "pretty little psycho" throughout the song. The chorus is catchy and memorable, designed to be an earworm that sticks in the listener's head. The verses describe the singer's attraction to the man, while the chorus expresses her desire to possess him. The lyrics are accompanied by an energetic beat that blends pop, rock and electronic music.
Overall, "Pretty Little Psycho" is a fun, upbeat pop song with an edgy twist. It captures the feeling of recklessness and abandon that comes with falling hard for someone, and celebrates the thrill of taking risks and going after what you want.

Pretty little psycho

You have a dark and mysterious vibe, like a black cat
Have you purrin' on your back
I want to bring out your wild and sensual side
Tip the glass
Let's drink and live in the moment
Now light it up
Let's ignite this passion between us
Rebel, rebel can't get enough
I love your rebellious nature and want more
(There's somethin' about you)
There's a unique quality about you that I can't put my finger on
(I've got to have)
I must have you in my life

So... for the fans wondering why this isn't on Spotify it's because she technically doesn't "own" the song. I believe a good portion of her work with Redone is still technically owned by him and because of this they had a falling out BUT Porcelains one saving grace was that this album leaked and because of this the record company I'm assuming gave up on trying to monetize any of it which is why Porcelain said fuck it and released these songs on YouTube. If I know anything about YTs copyright system is that you can still upload music even if it's copyright claimed. That is probably how she got around posting these. She can't make money off of them.... but she can give it to us fans.
@itseviebearr
But how is the high pitched sped up nightcore version of the song on Spotify but not this version? :(
@erenerispandora
@@itseviebearr because others uploaded it, not her.
@Katzykeens
That's so nice of her 🥺💗🌈
@KoopaScribbles
ohhhhhh that makes sence actually
@enggay871
Listen to the nightcore version if that's what you prefer. We don't want the comments section flooding with nightcore fanatics in a non-nightcore song.
@erictouw6668
Seeing as the nightcore version has 34x as many views, I wouldn't consider this a non-nightcore song anymore.
