Myrna "Peach" Brown (July 6, 1959 – April 1, 2007), best known as Screechy Peach, was an American Singer, Songwriter. Introduced to audiences as the lead singer of the duo whild peach, and became famous during the mid-1990s with her collaborations with some of the south biggest artists including Outkast & T.I..

Whild Peach

Forming in Dallas, Texas, Whild Peach made the move to Atlanta in 1994. After their deal with Capital Records went sour, the band started over again on the show circuit hitting the biggest venues in Atlanta. After breaking down Atlantas genre partitioning walls, the band assembled a bandwagon on which the likes of Atlantas most respected artists jumped.While the rappers tend to get all the credit, Hip-Hop music particularly the southern kind, which relies heavily on live instrumentation doesn't get made without the work of musicians like the ones that make up Whild Peach. They spent the last ten years working on projects with Goodie Mob/Joi/Cool Breeze/Lil Will/ Khujo Goodie/Sleepy Brown/The Ali Movie Soundtrack/The Scooby-Doo Soundtrack and most notable among these efforts is their collaboration with Outkast. Beginning on Outkasts second album and continuing on to their latest release,"The Idlewild Soundtrack", Outkast and Whild Peach formed a relationship that included co-writing, lending a hand on vocals and instrumentation and eventually manifested itself as Whild Peach becoming the backup band on the groups tours.But Whild Peach is more than just a backup band. In addition to their work on Outkasts tour dates and their hectic studio calendar, the band had started a busy touring schedule of their own playing over 100 dates in the last year at colleges, nightclubs, concert venues and festivals all over the United States. They've opened for Erykah Badu, Goodie Mob, Ohio Players, War, Fishbone and Chingy.
