Irini Arabatzi’s journey to making folk and jazz inspired contemporary pop in London is indirect but inspiring. Born in Thessaloniki, Greece, it was after her family moved to Brussels, that 4-year-old Irini really discovered music.
Irini then travelled to Scotland to further her music education. At the Royal Conservatoire, she worked with the Euroradio Orchestra and Scottish National Jazz Orchestra. But her stay in Scotland also opened important new pathways, introducing her to the new wave of UK jazz. Recording with artists including Corto.Alto, Fractus Band and Fergus McCreadie started the important first steps towards her solo project.
In 2018, Irini came to London to complete her music education at Guildhall. Now,
surrounded and encouraged by a diverse and prolific musical community she incorporates all influences into her performing life, from jazz, to samba, to folk and beyond.
