Evangelia is the mononymous stage name of Evangelia Psarakis, a US/Greek singer and songwriter from New Jersey, United States, born in 1992. She grows up between her grandmother’s small farm on the Greek island of Crete and her parents’ home in New Jersey on the American East Coast, and those two places shape her musical approach.

Style and influences

Her music combines modern pop with elements from her Greek background, along with contemporary club beats and memorable melodies. She draws on both American pop culture and traditional Greek sounds, using that blend as the basis for her work.

Themes

Her songs centre on confidence, self-love and love for other people, as well as attachment to what matters most to her. The result is a pop style rooted in her Greek heritage while remaining tied to mainstream American pop forms.
