Irini Merkouri

Chrysovalanto Chalilopoulou (; born 26 May 1981), known professionally as Irini Merkouri (, ), is a Greek pop and laïko singer. She began showing interest in being a singer at a very young age and at the age of seven she would mimic all the singers she would see on television.

2001–2003: Debut album and Meine Mazi Mou Apopse

Irini Merkouri signed a contract with Sony Music Greece and recorded her first solo album Na Fysai I Anixi in November 2001. As part of this album she sang a duet with Antonis Remos titled "Dio Mas" and a Greek version of the French song "Si Tu Ouvres Tes Bras" titled "Iparhi Kai Theos". The album included a total of twelve songs including the hits "Syntelia" and "Foties Anapste". The album also included the hits "Ematha Na Zo Horis Esena" and "Meine Mazi Mou Apopse".

2004: Sarbel and Palirroia

In 2004, Merkouri was featured in Sarbel's "Se Pira Sovara". In the same CD Single, Merkouri and Sarbel also released a second duet called "Agapi Mou Esi".

Shortly after, Merkouri recorded a new album in the studio with Sony BMG Greece. After internal disagreements with Sony BMG, Merkouri reportedly severed ties with label in 2009, and it is unknown what will happen with the unreleased material. Merkori signed with newly established label E.DI.EL. in 2009, which later re-branded to 4Music. In mid-2009, Merkouri digitally released the song "Parakseno Agori".
