[edit] Biography
Priscilla was born on August 2, 1989 in La Trinité near Nice, France, and has two sisters, Sandra and Severine. She was 11 years old when the show "Les drôles de petits champions" aired, and was discovered by the producer Patrick Debord (MGM). She signed with Jive records, the same record house as her idol, Britney Spears and later that year recorded her first single "Quand Je Serai Jeune".
In 2003, she acted in a film directed by Hervé Palud entitled 'Albert est méchant' with Christian Clavier and Michel Serrault.
After having followed a traditional schooling up until end of 8th grade, she decided not to enter secondary school, preferring to take correspondence courses so that she could better concentrate on her artistic career.
Priscilla has released four albums: "Cette vie nouvelle" in 2001, "Priscilla" in 2003, "Une fille comme moi" in 2004, and "Bric à brac" in 2005. Her song "Cette Vie Nouvelle" is a French rendition of the song "What a Feeling" from the hit movie "Flashdance". In 2006 she was asked by Disney to sing the French version of "Call me, Beep Me", the theme song for the popular cartoon Kim Possible.
Priscilla will return April 2007 in an entitled series "Sing" and that should be broadcasted on France2 (in KD2A) current September 2007.
