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.[2]

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.
