Angela Dimitriou was born in the popular suburbs of Athens.  From her early years she was deeply in contact, through members of her family, with the Greek music imported by the refugees from Minor Asia, a kind of mixture between rhythms and oriental sounds.  Then she shyly started to produce herself in small music joints of Piraeus, Athens port.

At once, her deep voice and the way she was singing well-known songs of the Greek musical tradition astonished and made well-known legends to ask her to work together.

Starting her recording career in 1980, she is considered as one of the most dynamic female Greek singer.  Her shows and live appearances are catchy and the Lebanese press, after her show in Beyrouth, in 1995, nicknamed her "the Greek Tina Turner". 

Angela is a flexible singer, mixing traditional music with more pop influences.  She has worked with great composers, not hesitating to lean her voice to more experimental sessions.  Angela Dimitriou is also appreciated in her native country for her way to sing the "zeimbekiko", a dance-song quite heavy, on a 9/8 rhythm, mainly danced in a solo manner by men.

In 1997, through the song "Margarites", she hit many Arabian Top-10, becoming the best Greek selling artist in the Arabic language countries.  A climax was her show in the Forum of Beyrouth in January of 1998, with Rachid Taha as support act, the day the Ramadan ended, in front of a 10.000 audience.  In May 1999, she collaborated with Amr Diab who she admires for his artistry and view on the mixture of Mediterranean music, on her latest album "Kane stin akri" but also on Amr's album "Amarain".

2000 was another smash year for Angela Dimitriou.  Her “best of” album reached triple platinum status in Turkey, in 6 months.  All her concerts were sold out in the same country.  After having being elected “best selling EMI foreign artist”, in 1998 and in 1999, for Lebanon and the Gulf countries.
