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").

Τα σημάδια (Μμμμ)
Η ψυχή σου είναι κενή
Τα μάτια, άδεια
Πώς να σου το εξηγήσω
Ό,τι δίνεις θα 'ρθει πίσω
Φίλος σου δε θα 'ναι ο χρόνος που περνά
Ό,τι δίνεις θα 'ρθει πίσω
Όλα γύρω σου θα σβήσουν ξαφνικά
Αααα, αααα
Κρύβεις την πληγή...
Mα φαίνεται το τραύμα
Αααα, αααα
Στη ζωή αυτή...
Όλα είναι Κάρμα
Κρέμεσαι από μια κλωστή
Και θα σπάσει (Μμμμ)
Η αλήθεια δεν αργεί
Τρέξε πριν σε φτάσει
Πώς να σου το εξηγήσω
Ό,τι δίνεις θα 'ρθει πίσω
Όλα γύρω σου θα σβήσουν ξαφνικά
Αααα, αααα
Κρύβεις την πληγή
Mα φαίνεται το τραύμα
Αααα, αααα
Στη ζωή αυτή...
Όλα είναι Κάρμα
Όλα είναι Κάρμα
Όλα είναι Κάρμα
Αααα, αααα
Κρύβεις την πληγή
Mα φαίνεται το τραύμα
Αααα, αααα
Στη ζωή αυτή...
Όλα είναι Κάρμα
In Yianna Terzi's song Karma, the artist speaks about the concept of karma, which is the idea that a person's actions, both positive and negative, determine their future experiences. The singer seems to be addressing someone who has not recognized the signs of karma caught up with them. They are unable to see the damage that they have caused and live with an empty soul and eyes. The lyrics suggest that every act and every move has consequences that bring about rewards or punishments.
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea of karma with the repeated phrase "Όλα είναι Κάρμα" which translates to "Everything is Karma." The verse continues in the same vein, warning the person that they cannot escape karma. Time is not their friend, and hiding their wounds will not save them. With imagery of hanging from a fragile string, the singer encourages the person to face the truth and run before it catches up with them.
In summary, Karma is a song that speaks to the idea that our actions have consequences, and it is essential to be mindful of what we put out into the world. Yianna Terzi reminds us that if we live with intention and treat others well, we can make a positive impact on the world around us.

Γεια σου, Γιάννα. Είμαι ένα κορίτσι από τη Ρουμανία. Συγγνώμη αν η ελληνικά μου δεν είναι τέλεια, εγώ τώρα μαθαίνω την πολύ όμορφη γλώσσα σου.
Δεν ξέρω τι να λέω. Δεν έχω λόγια.
Αγαπάω τα τραγούδια σου. Είναι πολύ όμορφα.
Το τραγούδι σου, που λέγεται "Όνειρο μου" είναι ο λόγος για τον οποίο τώρα μαθαίνω ελληνικά.
Δεν ξέρεις πόσο σ´αγαπώ.
Ευχαριστώ για όλα ❤️
@user-zk1vk9ww5b
@hatshepsut πως θα μπορούσα να μη συγκινηθώ απο ένα τέτοιο σχόλιο.
Λένε ότι είναι δύσκολα τα ελληνικά. Δεν μπορώ να καταλάβω πως ακούγονται σε κάποιον μη Έλληνα.
Ο λόγος όμως που σε έκανε να τα μαθεις είναι υπέροχος.
Η Γιάννα είχε πραγματικά υπέροχο τραγούδι. Κατα την γνώμη μου, ήταν το καλύτερο που έχει στείλει η Ελλάδα ως σήμερα.
Καλή δύναμη με τα ελληνικά. Τα πας ήδη πάρα πολύ καλά

I don’t understand this bond
What’s behind it
Everything just seems so wrong
But I won’t fight it
Every smile I’m putting on me makes you think you can control me
But I know that fate will let you be that blind
Every smile I’m putting on me makes you think you can control me
But if I were you I’d rather think twice
Run.. run..
when your time is up
Can’t get away from drama
Run.. run
When your time is up
there’s no escape from KARMA
I dont fit into your world
Lies wont charm me
We just speak in different tongues
Spells wont bind me
Every smile I’m putting on me makes you think you can control me
But if I were you I’d rather think twice
Run.. run..
when your time is up
Cant get away from drama
Run.. run
When your time is up
there’s no escape from Karma

Actually...these aren’t the lyrics to the Greek Version of the song. These are the lyrics to the English version of the song, which is actually more rewritten than translated. The Greek Version, when translated into English and barely rewritten, it goes like this:
It's a shame that you can't see
the signs.
Your soul is a blank space,
Your eyes are empty.
How can I explain it all to you?
That what you give comes right back to you...
The passage of time isn't your friend.
How can I explain it all to you?
What you give eventually comes right back to you, and...
Everything around you will suddenly disappear.
(Ahhh, Ahhh)
You may hide the wound,
but still we see the trauma.
In this life...
Everything is "Karma".
You're hanging from a thin thread,
and it's soon going to break.
The truth won't be coming late,
so run before it reaches you...
How can I explain it all to you?
What you give eventually comes right back to you, and...
Everything around you will suddenly disappear.
(Ahhh, Ahhh)
You may hide the wound,
but still we see the trauma.
In this life...
Everything is "Karma".
