Anna Vissi was born in Cyprus. In 1973, the family moves to Greece where Anna deplanes as a music comet in Athens. It takes no long for the concerts to come along with cooperations with the bright stars of the time such as Giorgos Dalaras and Charoula Alexiou. Four years later since her arrival to Athens, in 1977, she wins the first place in the Song Festival of Thessaloniki with the song titled “As kanoume apopse mia arxi” written by the Cyprian Doros Georgiadis and releases her first album. The brunette girl from Cyprus has wore the glass pump of art song and she is more than ready to be stepped princess. And then come the 80’s. Anna Vissi is not afraid of change and proves this throughout the 90’s, from album to album, changing music style, hair, looks or even record label. Her performances and shows let era in the athenian nights. Tireless as a performer, songwriter and composer she decides to get tested on the scene. In 1991, at Attikon theatre gets launched the rock opera “Daimones”, in music by Nikos Karvelas, libretto written by Stavros Sideras and additional lyrics by N. Karvelas. Everything around her is changing except one thing: her fans, who follow her closely, sending her albums straight to No.1 and “dressing” her each time in gold and platinum. The “Antidoto” is the first album in the history of Greek discography which got platinum in the very first week of its release, a record that got exceeded a bit later by “Kravgi” which got platinum in one day (it got totally 6 times platinum in Greece and 7 in Cyprus). The same year, 2002, Anna’s first Engilsh- language album “Everything I am” gets released.
In 2011 with a certain mood to look back Anna provides her audience the rockumentary “Oso exw fwni” presented by Alpha TV. It’s actually the recording of her life for three years running. The material gathered is presented in six episodes in which the absolute Greek star of ‘00s deposits her soul. It’s already 2012 and Anna announces her plans with Nikos Karvelas to bring again on stage the “Daimones” on Spring 2013. One more circle, one more beginning..
Two years later, she starred again in the Athens’ nightlife! This time she meets artistically with Antonis Remos, one of the most successful Greek singers, in a musical-theatrical performance presenting to the Pantheon Theater with great success.
In 2015 Anna Vissi had the lead role in "Oi Kampanes of Edelweiss", written by Nikos Karvelas and directed by Yannis Kakleas. The subversive rock opera that reminds her of an ancient tragedy was raised at Pantheon Theater and Anna embodied a unique role in her career.
Continuing her famous pioneering way, in 2016 she started her live shows in a new hall, created exclusively for her, "Hotel Ermou", having as a companion her "golden band”, consisting of 12 talented musicians. At the same year, Panik Gold released the album “Sinentefksi”, with 14 new songs, which became platinum.
Anna continues her live shows at "Hotel Ermou" until today. The three years of her successful performances are "coming to life" through the triple live album "Hotel Ermou 2015-2018", released by Panik Gold and immediately became #1 in digital and physical sales. The album, which was featured as "the triple live disc of the decade", includes 68 songs as they appeared on stage, unraveling Anna's unique musical journey from 1973 to 2018.
On June 2019, another new album is released; “Iliotropia”, written by Nikos Karvelas, took immediately the audience by storm! The album, with 14 new songs, immediately became #1 in digital and physical sales.
