Short Bio
Antigoni is a Greek Cypriot girl, born & raised in North London. Since signing a publishing deal at 14 years old Antigoni has been developing as an artist and is ready to take on 2022 with a refreshing new sound that showcases her culture. She has a powerful, distinctive voice that is recognisable within seconds of hearing it.
Antigoni is very proud of her Roots & wants to share her them with the world through music. Named after her Grandma, even her name is Ancient Greek so it’s a big part of who she is. But growing up London, UK music and hiphop is what Antigoni also loves. During lockdown Antigoni found her sound, combining modern with traditional Greek/Middle Eastern flavours and creating a sound that really represents who she is.
2022 is going to hear a lot from Antigoni
