Just a small introduction of myself that might intrigue you, I am a Greek woman. I sing in this difficult language, along side, Spanish, German and French if it calls for it. I love the many cultures of the world. Because I have a distinct one that I am always learning about. So I like knowing about others as well, going beyond my borders. I love the mysterious. I love the enchanting. I love the unknown. I hope my music will be the same.
I am a pianist. I am a composer. I breathe it. I love it. The whole point of this page is to bring people into my world and hopefully will love what I can create. It's quite the soulful sound which I hope people would actually listen to all day if they could. I don't know what else to say about myself except I have always loved music and bringing it to people is something I'm looking forward to do.
My hope is that this page does just that.
