[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". 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.
