ABOUT IRINI
Irini is a multi-lingual international artist. Originally from Greece, grown via Brussels and now based in London, Irini's far-reaching sound encompasses a deep rooting in Jazz, folk traditions from Latin America to Greece. Her informed vocal prowess of each of these traditions has led her to record and perform internationally, including an appearance as special guest vocalist for Kenny Wheeler's "Sweet Sister Suite" recorded for the first time with the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra.
​
Her own music brings each of these influences into a modern soundscape, combining with the likes of Nai Palm, Erykah Badu and Joni Mitchell. Her highly emotive songs speak of her uniquely multicultural upbringing and gives Irini a chance to explore live her love for guitar and piano also.
