Meet the Act

My voice like my soul journey has gone through many phases.
I started as a rough around the edges passionate rock singer, explored Greek music singing techniques, discovered I can be a party singer uplifting crouds, went through an introspective period during Covid (didn't we all...) and came out more balanced, self aware and mature doing Jazz and soul with my current band. I then fromed a jazz quartet and currently am in the cruiseship bussiness having had two contracts with ROYAL CARIBBEAN INTERNATIONAL.
I've always been in love with performing, my signature is my stage presence and pass ... ion. My performances are always energetic and communicative yet classy. My strong suit is flexibility and perception. I pick up things quickly and I adapt.I haven't majored in music but English Literature, yet I can do backing vocals on the spot, improvise, sense the crowd, make changes.
Though my element is blues rock I can easily transform to a dance party entertainer or a chill out jazz singer.
I love communicating with the audience and I'm very comfortable incorporating other acts in my performance (dancing, comedy scetches, playing a part, wearing costumes)
An ideal post for me at this point would be a cruise ship contract. I am in the mood for travelling, meeting new people, challenging my self in a different environment. Read More
