Biography
Priscilla, formerly known as Priscilla Alcantara, is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, television presenter, and musical producer born in Itapecerica da Serra, São Paulo. She first gained widespread public attention as a child host on the popular SBT children's show Bom Dia & Companhia alongside Yudi Tamashiro, after representing Brazil in the international television singing competition Código Fama. Over the years, she transitioned into a successful solo music career, initially releasing contemporary Christian music and gospel albums such as O Início, Até Sermos Um, and Gente, before making a definitive shift toward pop and mainstream music.
As her career matured, Priscilla expanded her artistic versatility by participating in major television productions and transitioning into musical theatre. In 2021, she won the first season of the reality television singing competition The Masked Singer Brasil while performing disguised as a unicorn. Following this milestone, she released her studio album Você Aprendeu a Amar?, featuring collaborations with prominent Brazilian artists such as Emicida and Projota. She later simplified her stage name to simply PRISCILLA and embraced a vibrant pop style, releasing projects like her self-titled album and starring in theatrical productions including the Brazilian staging of Wicked and Susi – O Musical.
Throughout her journey, Priscilla has collaborated with and shared stages with numerous notable figures in the Brazilian music scene, including Daniela Araújo, Lucas Silveira, and Vitor Kley. Her work bridges the worlds of children's television, contemporary pop, and musical theatre, cementing her status as a versatile performer in Brazil. Her ongoing evolution as an artist continues to influence contemporary Brazilian pop and gospel-adjacent crossover music.
