Biography |
Peggy Zina was born in Athens, Greece on March 8,
1975. She discovered her passion for singing at the early
age of 5 and began performing publicly while still in
school. It was there that Peggy discovered her above-average
musical abilities and consequently spent the majority of her
free time singing before various crowds in the Athens area.
At the same time, Peggy honed her skills by enrolling in
dance and performance classes, and by appearing in a series
of plays at her school. Peggy’s talent was obvious even at
that early stage of her life; it was clear that she was
destined for bigger and better things.
Though she was experiencing a certain amount of fame in
Athens, Peggy eventually decided to take her burgeoning
career to the next level by going on the road. She quickly
found herself in the Greek city of Thessaloniki, which is
well known for its busy music scene.
It was there that Peggy began to take the first steps toward
cementing her status as a performer. Though her first album
was appreciated by her fans, it didn’t make much of a dent
on the charts. But in 2002, she finally made a big impact on
the European community with her hit song “Love Is a
Wonderful Thing.”
This hit led to a lucrative contract with MINOS-EMI, and it
wasn’t long before Peggy’s star began to rise. Although she
has literally toured all over the world -- including Canada,
the United States, Australia, and London -- her fame is
highest in her home country of Greece. In 2005, Peggy won
Greece’s ARION Award for Female Singer of the Year.
Five albums later, Peggy has yet to break through in the
North American market, but all that could change following
her 2006 whirlwind tour; it will take her to such hot spots
as Atlantic City and Toronto. |
