Where, how, who & what

Styliannie was born in Cyprus and begun her Bachelor’s in Jazz Performance & Education at Leeds University. Due to Covid, she transferred her studies in Cyprus, where she obtained her degree at the University of Nicosia and balanced full-time performances with her education.

During this time, she was approached by well-established Latin and jazz musicians from the university, who recognized her talent and invited her to collaborate with venues across Cyprus. This led to her rapid recognition as an independent artist, building her own reputation in the local music scene.

Upon completing her studies, she received an offer to perform in Dubai, which she eagerly accepted. She became a residency singer with a full band which she was responsible to lead and coordinate, further expanding her international experience. Now, she continues to travel and collaborate between Cyprus, the UK, and Dubai.

Her musical influences have always been rooted in jazz, blues, and romantic melodies, drawing inspiration from artists such as Amy Winehouse, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, and classic Italian music.
