Projects
TRANSCENDECADENCE
The new psychedelic post-punk band of Victoria. 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.
The Priester Sisters
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 we are creating their original music, using their virtuosic musical skills and their gipsy hearts.
BalkanBeats SoundSystem
3 piece hailing from Berlin, combine classic Eastern Euro jazz sounds with modern production to conjure a sound that is sometimes referred to “mesmerizing Balkan music”. Bringing together Uroš Petkovič's refined production touch, Robert Šoko's DJ dancefloor sensibility and the magnificent voice of Victoria Priester, the project aims to create irresistibly danceable Balkan tracks that are globally infectious.
Punkulele
"Punkulele" is a way through my own perception of underground music, containing humor and sarcasm along with some personal drama and catchy melodies. After studying classical piano and composition, I just had nothing better to do than playing ukulele...you might be lucky, though, to see me performing on the keys too.
Solo act - ukulele and singing or also with a band or various guests.
Victoria Priest Project
This is my solo act, singing and playing piano, some might reffer it to a singer-songwriter...well, maybe...
My piano songs are dramatic, nostalgic, full of love, faith, passion and my deepest sadness and desire, transformed through that black/white world into the purest satisfaction and happiness while embrasing my voice to accompany the beautiful and irreplaceable sound of piano.
Collaboration with other musicians
As a singer and pianist, she collaborates with Berlin artists BalkanBeats SoundSystem, Django Lassi, Tolyqyn, Fanfara Kalashnikov, Roland Satterwhite, Viktor Kyrsuyk and more.

Past projects
Tritonus Priest
A very controversial band I've been doing in 2010-2014. It was my personal experiment of pushing the progressive rock music behind its typical boundaries. Without drums or bass - only synth, electric guitar, electric violin and vocals; I've been reaching to the world in between death and life, the light and darkness, my demons and my deepest thoughts. The music crossed over rock, classical music, elements of jazz and world music. Very alternative, nostalgic sound with emotioanal melodies and phantasasing lyrics.
The band is not existing recently, but you never know, what future brings...
You can still find some videos on Youtube.
Collaboration on the album "Tabula Rasa?"
At the end of year 2013, the album "Tabula Rasa?" of a czech poetist and lyricist Milan Prince was released. Many popular czech musicians contributed with their songs and so I did too...
Two songs of mine, I've composed on Milan's poems, are forever burned on this CD. Both of them - "Vločky" (Snowflakes) and "Noc a Den" (Night & Day) were recorded with my previous band Tritonus Priest. I also had a very special guest - a famous czech rock guitarist Michal Pavlíček, who contributed wtih his guitar solo to the song "Noc a Den", as well as provided his rhythm section - Martin Ivan on bass and Miloš Meier on drums.
