Emerging from a musical family of professional singers, including her father who is one of the most known platinum artists in Greece, Terzi is certainly “the one” to put under our radar. Relocating from Greece to the U.S. five years ago, and working her way into the studio with Grammy awarded and nominated notables, Terzi stirred up the vision to take her musical talent in a place where she knew she could be free and express herself musically in her own way. Yianna wanted this transition to break the restrictions she felt with the logistics of Greek music as a whole. She released her first official English single titled “Love Is Your Name” which hit iTunes and started bubbling in the underground clubs of NYC. This prompted Terzi to begin performing in the Big Apple to create her foundation in the US.
Terzi is no newbie to being a star. She performed in front of thousands in Greece and holds a status there that mimics many pop stars here in the U.S. At a young age, Terzi was inspired by ground breaking artists such as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Michael Jackson. With attaining a degree in Theory of Music, she pursued her dream of becoming a professional singer and was quickly signed to Universal Music. Audiences connected with Terzi instantly and caught hold to her unique tone.
She has received nominations for the “Best New Artist” at the “Cyprus Music Awards” as well as the prestigious “Arion Awards” which known here in the US as equivalent to the AMAs. Her debut album “Gyrna to kleidi” (“Turn the key”) placed her in the eyes of radio with the single “Pou kai pou” (“Every now and then”) which dominated the charts for months. Right after that, Yianna’s sophomore album was released with EMI from which two singles and videos were released.
Terzi represented Greece at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Oniro Mou" ("My Dream").

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be waiting with devotion
If you show me what's inside you
I'll be standing right beside you
I'll never let you down
I would never run away from you
Cause my heart will not give up on you
In our darkest time
I will shine a light and carry you
Cause my heart will not give up on you
You're my endless sea, my eternity
When you're lonely I will guide you
If you're missing I will find you
Set your heart free turn your sky blue
And I'll be here to remind you

Cause my heart will not give up on you
You're my endless sea, my eternity
In our darkest time
I will shine a light and carry you
Cause my heart will not give up on you
You're my endless sea, my eternity

This song not passing the semi is the biggest crime at Eurovision since it exists. English version is beautiful but nothing can surpass for me - mysterious and beyond beautiful Greek version. 💕

Eurovision Fan But a masterpiece :)
Janet Vovidis
Eurovision Fan It should have included some animal voices too, perhaps wolves’ howling, it would have reached one of the top places
GPB
Disney Queen she is playing auto-tune at this studio cut once again thereby it doesn’t sound properly life as the studio cut that was the main reason why she didn’t qualify I can barely point 15 entries better than greece in the 1st semi but this was a huge effort from them but not enough to pass she would have made it if she was at the 2nd semi
Janet Vovidis
GPB GPB the song was a masterpiece but should have been sung by a stronger voice.
