Despina Vandi Grey Dress
Popular Greek singer Despina Vandi was born as Despina Malea on 22 July 1969, in Tübingen near Stuttgart, Germany. Vandi’s family returned to Kavala, Greece when she was six years old.
After moving to Athens in the early 1990s, Vandi signed with Minos EMI and released two albums
Gela Mou (1994) and
Esena Perimeno (1996). She then began an exclusive collaboration with songwriter/producer Phoebus and struck commercial success with her third album,
Deka Endoles (1997), followed by the multi-platinum
Profities (1999), as she established a more “pop” stage performance style and image, becoming one of the most prominent portrayers of the laïko/pop genre.
