About Apostolia Zoi

Her Early Life and Music Start

When Apostolia was 14, she moved to Thessaloniki to focus on diving and swimming. She even graduated from the Gymnastics Academy. One night, while out with friends, she was given a microphone at a club and started to sing. The club owner quickly saw her talent and hired her to perform there.

Apostolia soon realized she wanted to be a singer. She began taking vocal lessons to improve her voice. At the same time, she sang with famous Greek artists like Vasilis Karras and Peggy Zina. She even performed a duet called "Maskes" with Peggy Zina. After this, she moved to Athens to continue her music career.

Songs like "Mi M'Akoubas" and "Shedon Pote" became popular hits. "Shedon Pote" even became the theme song for a TV show! In the summer of 2004, she performed at a popular club called "Thalassa" with other well-known singers like Elena Paparizou. This helped her show off her amazing singing skills even more.

New Music and Big Hits (2004–2005)

After the summer of 2004, Apostolia joined a new record company called Virus Music. In January 2005, she released her second album, Apo Do Kai Pera, which means "From Here On Out."

The song "Krima" became a huge radio hit and her first really big success! Other songs from the album, like "Mou Eleipses" and "Apo Do Kai Pera," also became popular. This made her a very well-known name in Greece.

In the summer of 2005, she performed again at "Thalassa" club. She also sang at "Apollon" club during the winter season. Around Christmas 2005, Apostolia released a special Christmas song called "To Kalytero Doro" (The Best Gift) with the boyband 4Play.
