Echo Wants Her Voice Back or simply Echo, is a Cypriot born, London based singer-songwriter, often described as folk noir with blues rock influences. Echo’s distinctive voice, notable stage presence and compelling lyrics have been praised by music publications, with Songwriting Magazine comparing her to the likes of Kate Bush, Lorde, Florence and The Machine, PJ Harvey and Bjork.
She self-released a debut EP in 2015, and went on to perform at the 2016 South by Southwest Festival. Fast forward to today, she has released a series of singles and music videos on her YouTube channel, alongside a constant stream of updates on her social media.
She is currently working towards releasing her fifth single “Flow”.
Echo will be performing an intimate set at South Coast Specialty Coffee on Saturday the 20th of October, in Larnaca, alongside renowned and talented Jazz guitarist and composer, Odysseas Toumazou, a professional Guitar player born in Cyprus
and currently living in Nicosia.
Odysseas’ rich musical background includes studying Jazz Guitar since 2011 in The Netherlands, at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, under the guidance of great musicians such as Martijn van
Iterson, Maarten van der Grinten and Jesse van Ruller. He also attended masterclasses and was given private lessons from innovative players such as Scott Henderson, Lage Lund, Peter
Bernstein, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Gilad Hekselman and Brad Mehldau. During his studies in Amsterdam, Odysseas toured Europe (Germany, Netherland, Poland, Spain, Cyprus) with many
different bands.
From 2015 until 2017, Odysseas worked in India at True School of Music as Head of Guitar Department. During his time in Mumbai he performed as a sideman with Loui Banks, Gino Banks,

Jazz Festival. He also collaborated with many Fusion groups and worked as an arranger and bandleader with India's finest Classical music artists.
