Biography

Priscilla Betti was born on 2 August 1989 into a family living in Nice, Alpes-Maritimes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.

Her mother, Annie takes care of her career and her father, Jean-Pierre, is a painter in letters. Priscilla has two sisters: Sandra who is also a singer and Séverine who is a pharmacy assistant.{{cite web|title=Priscilla, son entourage|url=http://www.priscillange.net}}

When Priscilla was eleven years old, she took part in the television children's talent show Drôles de petits champions, on 23 February 2001, on TF1, and was noticed by a producer from the American company Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Patrick Debort. On 25 September, she released her first single "Quand je serai jeune" under the record company Sony BMG.

That same year, Priscilla went to New York City and met her idol Britney Spears, who presented her with a Gold record for her single "Quand je serai jeune".

Betti's first album, Cette Vie nouvelle, was released in June 2002.{{cite web|title=LesCharts - Priscilla|url=http://lescharts.com/showinterpret.asp?interpret=Priscilla|website=lescharts.com|accessdate=24 October 2014}} It was certified Silver in France for sales of 50,000 copies.{{cite certification|region=France|artist=Priscilla Betti|type=album}} Her second album, Priscilla was released only six months after the first one, in December 2002. The album's first single, "Regarde-moi (teste-moi, déteste-moi)" was certified Gold in France for sales over 250,000 copies.{{cite certification|region=France|artist=Priscilla Betti|type=single}} The second single, "Tchouk tchouk musik", was certified Silver for sales over 250,000 copies. Priscilla sold over 100,000 copies in France, and was certified Gold.

Betti's third album, Une Fille comme moi, was released in early 2004. The first single, "Toujours pas d'amour", peaked at number five on the French singles chart and was certified Silver in France for sales over 250,000 copies. The album peaked at number eight on the album chart, and was certified Gold in France.

After following traditional schooling until the end of 8th grade, she decided not to enter secondary school, instead taking correspondence courses so that she could better concentrate on her artistic career.

Betti's fourth album, Bric à brac, was released in the summer of 2005. It peaked at number 20 on the French albums chart.

Starting from February 2008 Betti played the main role of Tina Ravel in the musical teen TV series {{ill|Studio 24 (TV series)|fr|Chante !|it|Chante!|pt|Chante!|lt=Studio 24}} on France 2 in the block programming KD2A.{{cite web|title=Présentation de Chante !|url=http://series-tv.premiere.fr/Chante-1597985|website=premiere.fr|publisher=Premiere|accessdate=20 November 2014|language=French}} The fourth and last season aired in 2011.{{cite web|title="Chante !" : c'est fini|url=http://www.chartsinfrance.net/Priscilla/news-75306.html|website=Charts in France|publisher=Webedia|accessdate=20 November 2014|language=French}} In addition to France, the series was also shown in Belgium, Italy and Brazil. Songs from the first season were released as Betti's fifth album, Casse comme du verre, in December 2007. The album peaked only at number 111 on the French albums chart.

In the fall of 2014 Betti made her stage debut as the lead in a stage adaptation of the musical Flashdance which was shown in Théâtre du Gymnase in Paris until March 2015.{{cite web|title="Flashdance", la comédie musicale : Priscilla impressionne au Théâtre du Gymnase|url=http://www.chartsinfrance.net/Flashdance/news-93886.html|accessdate=20 November 2014|language=French}}{{cite web|title=Flashdance the musical|url=http://www.theatredugymnase.com/spectacle-231|website=theatredugymnase.com|accessdate=20 November 2014|language=French}}
