Originally from Greece, Eleonora Kouneni is a London-based jazz vocalist and songwriter. At the age of 16, she started writing and regularly performing her own songs at bars in Athens and Greek islands. She also participated in concerts and festivals in Greece, the most prominent of which was the 16th Anti-Racism Festival (Athens, Greece, 2012), where she opened for legendary greek vocalists Maria Farantouri and Savina Yannatou.
She moved to London in her early twenties to pursue a career in music, where she fell in love with jazz. Since 2018, Eleonora has been establishing herself in the London jazz scene, performing in various London bars and venues, including the Green Note and Vortex Jazz Club.
In 2022 she released her first two singles, "Stay" and “Effortlessly”, both of which were commended in the UK songwriting competition, with the latter reaching worldwide audiences and exceeding 100K streams on Spotify. Her debut EP "If You Just..." will be released in spring 2023.
