How can i sing like Prince?

Im 15 years old and ive been singing for only 1 year. My highest note i can possibly hit right now is a f#6 but thats a whistle note. My highest note for head voice is g#5. I struggle with my head voice though. It sounds uncontrolled and not smooth really. I cant really keep a note stable. It will be on pitch and everything but its not a smooth clean note. I want to be able to smoothly sing head voice or falsetto like Prince does in Kiss and The Most Beautiful Girl in the World. I really want to focus on this because i heard it helps the rest of your voice too. I know im only 15 and have a lot of time to improve but if theres a specific technique or exercise on youtube somehow can recommend, that would be great. Lastly, i dont know if this is important to know, but i already hit puberty in my voice and i dont really think i will lose any range or anything. I probably will just get a more rich sound. But yeah im also almost 16 in less than 3 months. So if anyone has anything good to say to help that would be well appreciated. Thank you.

How should i practice? Do music theory?

Im 15 starting to get serious about guitar. My inspirations are Prince and Jimi Hendrix. So neo soul, funk, and r&b. I know a lot of guitarists who like to learn by playing their favorite songs and like playing others’ songs. For me, i want to get really really good at playing what i hear in my head. So if i have a cool idea for a funky melody i can hear it and just play it on the fretboard. This also is the same for solos and learning songs by Prince or other stuff. I want to be able to hear a song and find the chord on the fretboard. I want to be a musician, not just a guitarist, if you get what im saying. I plan to release music in the future probably in my early 20’s but this time is best for me to learn instruments and singing. I have a lot of free time, up to 6 hours a day of pure practice if i wanted to. And i am willing to pit in that amount of time as long as it helps me get better. I honestly have nothing better to do, besides working out and stuff. But yeah if theres things that someone can recommend that would be awesome. Please, if you can, tell me what i should work on every day to specifically improve on this. Thank you.

Please help me

So my skin is bad. Its dry but also oily and inflamed. If i were to wash my face and dry it, my skin wouldnt be smooth it would feel just dry. But throughout the day it gets oily and it looks just gross, not like a shine or glow. I currently use cerave hydrating cleanser and the cerave moisturizing lotion. I used to exfoliate daily with salicylic acid and used 2% daily at one point. Thats because i didnt know anything. I just got the most popular washes. But overtime my cheeks got more acne, more inflammation happened, and my forehead started to get bumps and whiteheads. Also, the part of my skin around my nostrils get lines when i smile and redness appears. Just thought i would mention that. I just want normal skin that isnt oily or dry.

Need some help for my falsetto and overall voice

Im a 15 year old male. I have been singing for about a year now on and off and really am starting to focus on it more now. My goal in singing is to sing in my falsetto like Prince and go higher one day. The highest i can go right now is a g#5. The thing is, when i hit that note, my throat feels like its squeezing and my neck muscles go crazy. I dont know why. But i currently practice prince falsetto songs and Love Spells songs. I also hope to sing higher but softer and not yelling in chest. Also is it something that gets better as i age? I will keep practicing no matter what but i would like to know. Thank you.
