Iro

“In my life, Music has always been the driving force” Born in Patras, Greece. Iro takes piano lessons, she solidifies this background by studying advanced music theory, graduating with first class honours degree in fugue. While she is awarded many scholarships and earns numerous distinctions during her studies, making music is Iro’s ultimate goal in life and so she decides to take a break from her Nursing studies at university . She works for two years in a club , playing the piano and singing. Later, she turns her attention to working with an orchestra, wishing to grow as an artist and test her skills at composing more demanding musical arrangements, using more instruments. Working in a big concert venue and performing before wider audiences , she finds herself really communicating with the world, while music remains the “driving force” in her life. In the years to follow, she truly finds herself artistically –both as composer and lyricist–, having in her portfolio more than one hundred songs, including instrumental compositions, and a large number of live performances, as well as collaborations with Greek composers, musicians, actors and singers. Iro keeps a low profile in her everyday life, yet does not hesitate to take an active stance in the community, as a passionate advocate of social causes for human rights & against social exclusion, being an active agent, participating in or endorsing campaigns and events for children and vulnerable groups.
