Erini

Heard by over 1 million people during her 3-year tour with Cirque Du Soleil, Erini’s voice is characterized by ornaments from the Greek tradition and inspired by far-ranging influences. Growing up in a musical family on the island of Crete, Greece, Erini’s mother, a descendant of Greek-Anatolian refugees, introduced her to the Greek - Anatolian musical tradition which ignited Erini’s passion for singing. Completing a Master at Berklee paved new paths of experimentation for Erini as she redefined the constraints of genre and birthed a new sound combining Greek traditional music with contrasting genres such as, jazz, pop and classical music. Erini’s first single “Korasion Etragoudage '', is a Greek traditional song from Anatolia in a contemporary cello and voice arrangement that went viral and gained over 1.3 million combined views on Facebook. Erini has had the opportunity to showcase her musical heritage at Carnegie Hall and to collaborate with artists such as Danilo Perez and Daniel Hope. Erini has been awarded the Greek America Foundation’s 40 under 40 Award and the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s Traditional Arts Fellowship.
