Singer/songwriter Evangelia delivers a spellbinding form of pop music that’s indelibly shaped by
her charmed upbringing. Although she grew up in New Jersey, the 27-year-old artist has spent
nearly every summer of her life on her grandmother’s farm on the Greek island of Crete, where
she became enamored with Greek folk music from an incredibly young age. After getting her
start playing clubs in New York City (all while holding down a full-time teaching job back in
Jersey), Evangelia landed a record deal with Sony Music International and soon brightened the
pop landscape with a boldly original sound built on her endlessly magnetic presence.
Made with her creative partner Jay Stolar (a songwriter/producer known for his work with Aloe
Blacc, G-Eazy, and Demi Lovato), Evangelia’s debut single “Páme Páme” offers a powerful
introduction to her impassioned brand of pop. With its brilliant flashes of Greek phrasing (its title
translates to “Let’s go, let’s go”), the bouncy but smoldering track emerges as a high-energy
anthem for living fully in the moment. On her follow-up single “Fotiá,” Evangelia again proved
her undeniable ingenuity, working with esteemed German producer Alexis Troy and conjuring
up a euphoric dance number fueled by kinetic percussion and heavenly melodies. And in
virtually all of her output, Evangelia reveals the irresistible dynamic at the heart of her artistry: a
sophisticated instinct for the intricacies of pop, and a nuanced understanding of the potent
rhythms and mesmerizing textures of traditional Greek music.
