Ivi Adamou

Her influences include Beyoncé, Whitney Houston, and Helena Paparizou, and she has been described as the "Pop Queen" or "Teen Idol" in Greece, called the "Next Big Thing" since her X Factor days. Her first EP was certified gold for selling over 60,000 copies in Greece, while her second holiday EP was certified platinum for selling over 15,000 copies in Portugal. Since 2010, she has received several nominations at the MAD Video Music Awards and the Madame Figaro Awards, was named the best Cypriot female performer in 2010 and 2012, and was awarded as the best singer in Cyprus in 2012, the first time that award was given. Adamou has also been involved in charity work, including "Everything I Can," a campaign for cervical cancer prevention, and was appointed as the Young Ambassador for the rights of children by the HFC-UNCRC Policy Center.

Adamou is the second of three sisters, with an older sister, Despina, and a younger one, Cleopatra. She was born and raised in Ayia Napa, Cyprus, and traveled back and forth between Cyprus and Greece during her X Factor participation. In 2011, she began studying sociology at Panteion University in Athens, where she eventually moved permanently. In 2015, she graduated with a diploma from the Department of Sociology. Her personal life has drawn media attention; in 2011, she denied rumors of a relationship with Michalis Kouinelis from Stavento, but in 2014 Kouinelis revealed that they had been together for about a year and lived together in Athens while she was studying. In December 2017, she announced she was expecting her first child, and moved with Kouinelis to his hometown, Alexandroupolis. On 12 June 2018, she gave birth to their daughter, Anatoli-Nefeli.
