Covers/own material:

She started her career as a backup singer for George Dalaras (the most popular Greek male singer) in the early 1970s. Through the years she has sung everything from "laika" (greek popular music) to "entechna" (crafted/"serious" Greek popular music).
     Her career took a shift to music with a western edge in the 80s, with her album I agapi einai zali (love is dizziness) which broke sales records in Greece. Her voice is throaty and passionate (think Happy Rhodes and Kelly Bird in "Closer" from Equipoise). (kyrlidis@earthlink.net)
