Alcestea

A singer-songwriter and performer who weaves together stories—her own, those of the people next door, and even of imagined souls from distant places and times she wishes she had met – this is Alcestea! Her music blends indie pop with folk and dream pop influences, creating an ethereal, yet deeply personal sound.

Born and raised in Preveza, in the region of Epirus, northwestern Greece, she discovered her passion for music early on and began her journey as a songwriter eight years ago. Now based in Athens, Alcestea has pursued both music and academia, studying topography at NTUA while honing her craft in piano, contemporary singing, and songwriting, culminating in an MA from Bath Spa University.

She has performed in music venues, concerts, and festivals and was a member of the vocal ensemble Praxis, showcasing her versatility as an artist. Following her debut single “Satin Life”, Alcestea returned with “Pop Corn”, a fresh, summery track that echoes her love for the ’80s aesthetic. The song’s bittersweet lyrics capture the longing for a love that never arrived—an ode to those unspoken wishes we carry through the years. Produced and arranged by Monsieur Minimal, “Pop Corn” embodies his signature neo-vintage sound, a seamless fusion of dream pop and ’80s electronica, breathing new life into a nostalgic era.
