She began her career on the program Lillipoupolis, a daily program which was created by Manos Hadjidakis on the Greek National Radio 3. With the group "Primavera en Salonico" she has recorded - and performed - Sephardic Folk Songs from Salonica, "Songs from the Mediterranean" and the "Virgin Maries of the World."
