Victoria Priester (the whole name Petra Victoria Priester) is a singer, pianist, composer and recently a ukulele player and accordeonist. Based in Berlin, she's performing as a solo perfomer under the name Victoria Priest, moving between her "ungerground" songs with ukulele and "dramatic" piano songs; as well as in a collaboration with many musicians from different genres.
She studied the Concervatory of Jaroslav Ježek in Prague, genre composition and jazz piano, earlier also classical piano and classical composition. In her compositions she went through many different genres - classical music, film music, scenic music, jazz, popular, rock and electronic music.
Nowdays, she's leading her own band TRANSCENDECADENCE (psychedelic post-punk), she is a lead singer of the BalkanBeats SoundSystem and she's playing in a swing band with her sisters called The Priester Sisters.
Transcendecadence is the new band of Victoria Priest. Whipping ukulele and droning organ over a classic rock formation of guitar, bass and drums, breaks open Post-punk borders and adds to a new page in psychedelic music. Victoria's restraintless voice combined with extended solos and a driven, energetic band, culminates in a wild trance experience, which leaves audiences sweaty and wanting more.

A fresh new alternative pop with the touch of psychedelic and folklore. 3 sisters with Slovakian roots started as a swing band singing in three-part harmony. Today, they are creating their original music, using their virtuosic musical skills and their gipsy hearts.
