Porcelain Black is an American singer, songwriter, and rapper. She is also known as Porcelain and the Tramps.

Her father is a hairstylist. Her mother is an accountant. She was partly raised in Rochester, Michigan. She is sometimes said to have Albanian ancestry. This does not appear to be accurate.

Porcelain Black’s paternal grandfather was Gordon Robert Amos Beaton (the son of Jarve Raymond Beaton and Pearl Emma Evans). Gordon was born in Courtright, Ontario, Canada. Jarve was the son of John Mckenzie Beaton and of Julia Ann House Brown, and was of mostly Scottish descent. Porcelain Black’s great-grandmother Pearl was the daughter of Amos Evans, whose parents were English and Irish, respectively; and of Emma Hill, who had Irish ancestry.

Porcelain Black’s paternal grandmother was Betty L. Wojcik/Wojick (the daughter of Stanley G. Wojcik/Wojick and Stella Kanasavitch). Stanley was born in Poland. Stella was born in Massachusetts, to Polish parents.
