Erini is a Greek vocalist who blurs the lines between genres and explores intercultural dialogue through music. Growing up on Crete, she was fascinated by the stories of her family who were refugees from Smyrna (Izmir) in 1922, and became passionate for the Greek culture and traditional music of Asia Minor. She has collaborated with Grammy award winners Danilo Perez and Luciana Souza, as well as Terri Lyne Carrington, Christos Zotos, Daniel Hope, Mario Frangoulis amongst others and has appeared at Carnegie Hall, NYC, Panama Jazz Festival, London Jazz Festival, Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, Abbey Road Studios and more. After Western classical music studies from the age of 6, Erini’s curiosity for music from around the world led her to England to study Contemporary Vocal Performance, and then on tour with the show Kurios by Cirque Du Soleil for 3 years. Then, she completed her Master’s Program with a full scholarship at the Berklee Global Jazz Institute. She is now a professor at the Berklee College of Music and the Berklee Global Jazz Institute and presents workshops and lectures of Greek traditional music in universities including Harvard, Princeton, Tufts amongst others. Erini is currently based in Boston, MA and performs around the world as a soloist and a collaborative vocalist.
