Eleonora Kouneni

Eleonora Kouneni is a Greek-born/London-based jazz vocalist and songwriter known for a vocal approach that blends jazz phrasing with Mediterranean warmth, emotional clarity and a storyteller’s instinct. Eleonora began her career in Athens in her late teens opening for some of Greece’s most celebrated vocalists at major festivals before relocating to London and establishing herself in the city’s jazz scene. Her independently released debut EP ''If You Just...'' introduced her songwriting to international audiences, with its lead single reaching over 2.5 million streams across 170 countries and drawing over 36,000 monthly listeners. This global reach helped pave the way for several London shows, including sold out shows at the Green Note Basement, a showcase in New York City, and a recent soldout headline show at the Monks Jazz Club in Austin, TX, with some of the best musicians in town, which was also livestreamed internationally.

Her New EP, ''This Eager Heart'', her first recorded take on the Great American Songbook, will be released on March 20, 2026, followed by a live launch on March 25th at 'The Pheasantry' (PizzaExpress Live, Chelsea).
