Meet TIFANY: The Greek Australian artist making waves in RnB

·

By Evelyn Karatzas

Are you looking for your new favourite Greek artist who combines unique sounds of RnB, house and EDM music?

Introducing Tiffany Angel Likoudis, also known as “TIFFANY” – a 23-year-old Greek Australian singer-songwriter from Sydney with a passion for performing.

From singing lessons to school choirs and local RSL club gigs, the Arncliffe-born artist has released more than 20 songs, taking on headline performances and live shows across NSW.

Inspirations and influences:

Ιn an exclusive interview with The Greek Herald, TIFFANY revealed what inspired her unique sound.

“Growing up, I wanted to be an RnB artist. I was always listening to what my dad put on – it was a bunch of Queen, Justin Timberlake and Timberland and stuff like that, and I feel like my love for RnB came through those artists,” TIFFANY said.

“I also loved listening to artists like Rihanna, Nelly Furtado and Christina Aguilera – I just loved their vibe.”

After receiving her first keyboard at 13, she then began writing her own songs, tapping into different genres to develop her own sound. In November 2020, she released her debut single ‘Just Beginning’.

“I really love diving into different genres and having fun with my producers,” TIFFANY said.

“Right now, I’ve been exploring a bunch of genres like house, RnB, pop and Afro House and I love mixing different elements into my music. I just love to try things that are fun, and I don’t think I fit under just one genre.”

Behind the lyrics:

The 23-year-old revealed her popular hits are all written off personal experiences.


“A lot of it is talking about my experience of how I’ve felt in love, and then I go into the opposite side of love, which is like the heartbreak side,” TIFFANY said.

She hopes her music is something listeners can have fun with and relate to.

“When I was going through a breakup, I was creating a lot of RnB. I just wanted to listen to a song that would make me feel confident, even though my circumstances might not be great – so I made music for that,” she said.

“When I envision people listening to those songs, I hope it makes them feel confident about a situation, like it’s not the end of the world, that it’s okay, and that they will move on, and these things happen. I really want to put that message across, but I also want people to have fun with them.”

Greek influence:

In 2023, TIFFANY released her first song incorporating the Greek language – ‘Agapi’.

“I wanted to create something that was universal, so that anyone who spoke English could just listen to,” she said.

“I chose words like “Agapi” and “Se agapw”, as they’re words a lot of people know. I then incorporated European instruments to really capture that euro-style vibe.

“Moving forward, I definitely want to write more Greek lyrics. I think ‘Agapi’ was a great start, because when I perform, it’s just an unreal feeling when people like that are not Greek, are singing Agapi or ‘Se agapw’. It’s about sharing my culture through my music.”

The Sydney singer said introducing Greek was a way to pay homage to her late grandmother.

“She was someone that I was super close with, and I felt like I’ve always lived this dream for the both of us, so it only felt right to do something in honour of her and my background,” TIFFANY said.

What’s next?

“I have a song coming out every six weeks this year. I’ve made a bunch of music, which I can’t wait to finally get out,” TIFFANY said.

“I’m hoping at the end of the year to put out my first EP as well which is going to be full of house/euro summer vibes, and It’s a little nerve wracking, but I’m really excited.”
