She was respected from the get go, as people found out about her musical studies etc. Β But she waited a long time and only started releasing around 2021/2022. Β She's still very respected and is seen more as an avant garde / alternative act, as she's doing everything independently and not playing the label game. I wouldn't say she's an MPG tho, but maybe on her way there. Β She's more known for her great live performance skills. Only the last 3 years I'd say she gaining a bigger following, especially GenZ Β She also announced a new EP for this summer, that'll be more like ZARI.Β Edited May 13, 2024 by ChrispyBelievix 1

little legend Posted May 13, 2024 Posted May 13, 2024 (edited) I opened the greek TV and of course everyone is talking about Eurovision and there are like "Who is the criminal that is responsible for this crime, for this gargantuan bomb , for this enormous flop that we had this year? Shame on you " and things like this. All these cause we only got the #11 position at the EurovisionΒ I love how we treat Eurovision like an important national issueΒ Edited May 13, 2024 by little legend 1
