"...[Anna's] the greatest Greek export since democracy." -review on Anna Vissi
| Date of Birth: 20th of December, 1957 |
| Birthplace: Cyprus |
| |
|
 |
| She looks like a European version of Faith Hill (with a little more sass). Now who in the world doesn't like Faith Hill? |
 |
| She is Greece's most popular and successful singer. Her single, "Everything I Am", is set to be the dance anthem of 2001 (in Europe anyways). |

Anna Vissi began her career early on, at the age of 6. Born in Cyprus, on the 20th of December, 1957, she attended the Cyprus Conservatory, and was awarded for her singing skills by taking home first prize at a singing contest in her area when she was 12.
Anna's mother saw the potential in her daughter's career as a musician, and relocated the Vissi family to Greece (sisters Lia and Niki included), which offered more opportunities than her native Cyprus.
Once in Greece (and after having won contests and participating in the Eurovision Song Competition), it didn't take long for Anna to begin working with reputable producers, for starters, Nicos Karvelas (who is now her ex-husband).
With a repertoire of successful hits to his songwriting name, Karvelas wrote the majority of Anna's songs, most notably a rock opera entitled "Demons", the first ever of its kind in Greece.
3 years later, Anna starred in Stavros Sideras' opera, "Ode to the Gods" in 1996. She also released her album Klima Tropiko (Tropical Climate) in '96, and became a sensation in Greece.
Her album went platinum, and to show her appreciation to her Greek fans, she toured Greece and put on a 3-hour show at a club in Greece built specifically for her. After consecutive nights of selling out, it was clear Anna was the hottest act that side of the Mediterranean. |
