==Personal Life==
Mercedes' mother worked in a local bakery whilst her father worked in a newsagents. Growing up, money was scarce and with her father struggling with the English language barrier things didn't get easier. Unfortunately the bakery her mother worked in closed down due to slow business and she was made redundant. With Mercedes at the age of 4 and needing a lot of care that her parents just could not give to her, they decided it would be best to send her to a childrens home in London where she would receive all the care she would need. Her parents still visited her but after a while Mercedes grew away from them and made the decision to just stay in the home.
During her time at the home, Mercedes took part in many drama productions. Taking on main roles in musicals such as Oliver Twist, Bugsy Malone and Hairspray, she became one of the most talked about and respected kids there. She also developed a close relationship with Billy Khan (now a member of Weekend). The pair shared the same wild and adventurous traits and soon became best of freinds, they even refer to each other as 'family'.
At the age of 18, she left the home in search of her own place. Her mother and father had split since then and her mum was now living in California with a new partner. Mercedes was soon reunited with her mother and has remained in Cali ever since.
With a mix of ethnic roots and going from living in a poor council flat in Hackney to a loving cosy care home in London to laying on the golden beaches of California, Miss P has experienced many different walks of life. She has put her eccentric and confident persona, her multi-cultural roots and her love for art and fashion all together to create her music. Mercedes says that her music can't be put into a genre, instead she says her music is 'me'.
Mercedes is currently working on her debut album and single. Her official YouTube channel has received over 1 million hits if you combine all the videos.
