Welcome to another furry feature on our "Industry Pets" blog. Today, we're hopping into the world of Priscilla Cruz, an independent recording artist known affectionately as Shortcake, and her adorable rabbit duo, Toby and Tink.

The Musical Journey with a Bunny Twist

Priscilla, an ever-evolving artist whose melodies often grace the airwaves of Spotify and Instagram, recently shared her unique life with pets on our podcast. Beyond the recording studio's vibrant beats, Priscilla's home is filled with the soft thumps of bunny feet – meet Toby and Tink, the true stars behind the scenes.

Toby & Tink: More Than Just Fluffy Companions

While rabbits might not be the most conventional pets, Priscilla beautifully articulates why Toby and Tink are perfect for her lifestyle.

A Creative Haven for All

Priscilla has not only built a musical sanctuary but also a literal one for her rabbits.

This dedication transcends into her music, where discipline and patience learned from pet care echo in her creative process.
