Biography
Who is Gianna Terzi?
Early life and family
Gianna Terzi was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1980. She is the daughter of the well known Greek singer Paschalis Terzis. Her upbringing in a musical family environment likely influenced her later career choices in the entertainment industry.
When she reached the age of 20, she moved to Athens to focus on her professional music career. This transition allowed her to begin working within the Greek music industry more directly.
Music career beginnings
In 2005, she released her debut CD single. By 2006, she released her first studio album titled Gyrna to kleidi through the record label Cobalt Music. She later signed a contract with the label Minos EMI.
Under this new label, she released the album Ase me na taxidepso in 2008. The title track of this album was also released as a single. After working in Greece, she eventually moved to the United States. While living there, she took on a role working as a talent scout for Interscope Records.
Eurovision Song Contest
In 2017, Gianna Terzi was selected as one of twenty artists shortlisted for the Ellinikos Telikos 2018. She participated with the song Oniro mou while representing Panik Records. By November 8, she advanced to the final round of five acts.
The selection process became complicated when other artists were disqualified for not having a specific Greek sound. Further complications arose when the record labels for two remaining competitors refused to pay a 20,000 euro fee to the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation. Consequently, her song remained the only entry.
She competed at the Eurovision event on May 8, 2018. She placed 14th and did not qualify for the final round. Following her appearance, she released an English language version of her entry titled Eternity.
