1) Mando was born in Pireus and raised in Athens by a jazz pianist father and a classic soprano opera mother. From an extremely young age she began to develop her talent and interest in music characterizing her as a "miracle child".
At the mere age of 4 Mando had unbelievable vocal abilities and could easily sing opera aries, gospel and jazz music. Her parents, astonished by her musical capability, signed her up at the National conservatory for piano and music theory lessons. Meanwhile, she also took up vocal training and dance lessons. At the age of 10 she began to teach herself how to play the guitar and various percussion instruments. Her dedication and passion quickly led her to compose her own melodies.
At the age of 14 along with her school work, her music, and her English and French lessons, she performed in the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar", which went up under the direction of Mimis Plessas and Dimitris Malavetas.
She sung for various orchestras and was a member of various jazz groups and trios, working music in all its textures: jazz, Greek, European, American, Arabic. This gave Mando the ability to work various sounds with ease, not to mention, sing and compose all types of music.
After the completion of her musical studies and at the age of 18 she signed her first record contract with CBS, which gave her the international hit "Fill me up" and offered her the chance to an international career at a very young age. Mando remained in America for 5 years where she took up vocal training with the very famous Hal Sheaffer (vocal trainer of Barbara Streisand and Lisa Minelli) and interacted with many musicians, producers and with people who helped her talent grow. Her diverse knowledge and international edge defined her as the Greek artist with the international voice. Mando's record company Minos, with which she stayed 7 years, brought her back from America for the production of 6 more successful albums:"Dos mou ena fili" (Give me a kiss), "Afto to kalokeri" (This summer), "Ptisi gia dio" (Flight for two), "Kinisi triti" (Third move), "Esthisis" (Senses), "I diki mas I agapi" (Our love), and "Anisiho vlema" (Unease look).
Her thriving career at Minos brought a new record deal with Sony Music, where her career flourished even more. So far she has released 3 albums under the Sony label: "Ston evdomo ourano" (On the seventh sky), "Gia oles tis fores" (For all the times), and "Prodosia" (Betrayal) …
Through out her career, Mando has had many hits, such as "Danika" (Borrowed), "Faros" (Lighthouse), "Ston evdomo ourano" (On the seventh sky), "Esi" (You), "Fotia sta prepi" (Burn the have too's) and many many more.
In addition, she has also embarked on many international tours in various cities like Los Angeles, London, Paris, Toronto, Montreal, New York, and Chicago performing in various concert halls, such as, New York's Madison square Garden, and Chicago's Aircrown.
Furthermore, she has also toured and collaborated with many established artists such as: Marinella, D. Mitropanos, T. Voskopoulos, P. Terzis, C. Nikolopoulos, D. Galani.
In continuation, Mando has collaborated with the best songwriters in the Greek music business and not only, such as Fivos, A. Papadimitriou, K. Haritodiplomenos, N. Germanou, G. Theofanous, E. Giannatsoulia etc. Moreover, Mando's compositions have not only been sung by her but by many other artists as well, such as P. Terzis, K. Kouka and many more.
Mando composes mainly on her guitar and loves to pen for Greek artists as well as foreign. Just recently she penned the track "Where you are" for Jessica Simpson, which has been in the hot 100 chart 2 months now, and has also been chosen as the theme song to 20th century Fox's new film production titled "Here On Earth". It has sold more than 1 mill copies so far.
One more very impressive international collaboration is that with Jean Michel Jarre on one of his own tracks which has been sung by Mando in Greek with the title "Zoi" (Life) and will be included on her new album. This collaboration of hers is a great achievement since the godfather of electronic music entrusted Mando in singing his composition "C'est la vie" with the original orchestration.
Another, very recent international collaboration is Mando's duet with Turkish top artist Sertab titled "Fos" (Light), which was greatly accepted and loved by the Greek people.
Mando was the first Greek artist to form her own fan club in 1992, which now has more than 20,000 members. She was also the first to create her own website 5 years ago. In a few weeks her company, Sony Music Greece will have a more completed and updated web site for all its artists include that of Mando's.
Mando loves music, nature and love they are the sources of her inspiration. She adores sports, swimming, tennis, bowling and cooking (she is a wonderful cook) and her favorite hobby is to look out at the ocean…Mando also loves to read about psychology and to occupy herself with interior decoration.

Never Let You Go
Mando Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Close my eyes still see you in sight
Everything reminds of you
I could never let you go
I can't hide my feelings at all
I give you love sometimes it's so hard
Without you I know I would fall
I would cry for you
And I'd lie for you
I would lay my life on the line
I can't hide from you
That I'd die for you
But I'd never let you go
What we share keeps me alive
For you there's nothing I would deny
All I know is I want you so
'Cause I'd never let you go
I would cry for you
And I'd lie for you
I would lay my life on the line
I can't hide from you
I'd reach the sky for you
But I'd never let you go
In the song Never Let You Go, Mando expresses his feelings of not being able to let go of his loved one. The opening lines suggest that he is going through a difficult phase, and can't seem to get over the person he is in love with. Even with his eyes closed, he can still see the person in his mind's eye, and everything around him is a reminder of them. This verse sets the tone for the entire song - that Mando is completely consumed by his love for this person and that he cannot let go.
The chorus of the song affirms this idea even more strongly. Mando declares that he would do anything for the person he loves, including crying and lying for them. He even goes so far as to say that he would lay his life on the line for this person. Mando's affection for this person is all-consuming, and it's evident that he would do practically anything to keep them close.
In the final verse, Mando talks about how his love for this person keeps him alive, and that there is nothing he would deny them. He confesses that he wants this person, and once again stresses that he would never let them go. Ultimately, this song is about the strength of the love that Mando feels for this person and the lengths he is willing to go to keep them in his life.
