The London-based Cypriot singer-songwriter was internally selected by Cypriot broadcaster CyBC to represent the island nation in Vienna. She made a significant impact with her song ‘Jalla’, which blended contemporary pop production with traditional elements, including references to tsifteteli dances and Mediterranean instrumentation.
