Alessandra Prete (born 20 August 1996), known by her stage name Priestess, is an Italian rapper from Apulia inspired by trap.[1] Her influences include Rihanna, Etta James, and David Bowie[2] whose music often explores the state of modern women through naming songs after women throughout every historical era of feminism.[3][4]
She was the subject of a documentary, The 4th Wave (in reference to fourth-wave feminism[4]), directed by Savanah Leaf that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2019.[5][6][7]
Prete's fashion efforts include the campaign Spirit Of with Foot Locker, where she was one of three artists (one each from the UK, France, and Italy) selected; Prete acted as the "Gratitude Spirit."[7]
