April Perea is a musician/writer/filmmaker born and raised in Tupelo, Mississippi - the birthplace of Elvis Presley.
April has been playing music from a very young age. She has created numerous projects including the first all-girl punk band in Mississippi - The Underpants.
In 2008, her musical outlet combined with filmmaking when she became the first woman to win Best Music Video at the Tupelo Film Festival. Her no-budget, largely improvised music video for "Trainwreck" beat out professionally made videos, including one by major label artist Paul Thorn.
In addition to experimental films, April co-wrote "It Came From Beyond Beyond" and co-wrote and co-directred "Pretenders" due out in 2010.
