Melina (FR/GR)
Melina carries the musical heritage of her Greek origins through a voice rich in ornamentation and
emotion. Born with musicians, oral tradition was central to her upbringing.
She studied oriental violin in Greece and traditional singing, later deepening her vocal practice and
learning oud at the Conservatory of Oriental Music in France, graduating with honors.
A lover of literature, Melina studied at the Sorbonne but soon realized music demanded her full attention.
This passion for words now feeds her songwriting, while her connection to dance brings an embodied
presence to the stage.
Her universe blends tradition with poetry, creating music that feels both urban and magical, where
traditional sounds meet pop and wedding music. Her inspirations range from The Do to Rosalia.
She’s joined by Doğan Poyraz on percussion, together crafting a sound that is sensitive, powerful, and deeply original.
