«…Without love, I don’t want to live here on land/ But you are so calm, my sea/ Mirroring birds/ But I am a wave…»
Marina Satti has teamed up with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, to support refugee children. As part of this initiative, Marina and Madhouse Records are donating all profits from the release of the music video “Ah, Thalassa” (“Oh, Sea”) to help children in need — turning her music into a wave of real-world impact.
The song confronts the devastating tragedy of migrant deaths in the Mediterranean — a sea that, for many, became a grave. The music video closes with a stark, haunting message: “In the last decade, at least 29,984 people drowned in the Mediterranean. 1,274 were children.”

Marina Satti
Marina Satti is redefining Greek music on her own fearless terms. A singer, composer, producer, and actress with roots in Crete and Sudan, she blends traditional sounds with hip-hop, pop, and global rhythms, creating a style that’s both deeply rooted and electrifyingly modern.
A scholarship graduate of Berklee College of Music, Marina has performed everywhere from the Greek National Opera to the ancient theaters of the Odeon and Epidaurus. She’s also the founder and artistic director of CHÓRES, an all-female choir of 150+ voices, built to break musical boundaries.
From her breakout singles “Koupes” (2016) and “Mantissa” (2017) – the latter racking up 59 million views with a TikTok-style video years before TikTok — Marina signaled she wasn’t here to follow trends; she was here to set them. Her debut album Yenna (2022) fused multicultural influences into a vibrant, genre-bending manifesto of identity and liberation.
In 2024, Marina brought her sound to the world stage, representing Greece at Eurovision with “Zari” — a track that stormed into the charts of 29 countries. Just days later, she released P.O.P., an EP that celebrated Greek pop with sharp, ethnic-infused beats and bold lyrics. The EP soared into the Top 10 Albums Worldwide and the UK Top Albums chart, a first for any Greek artist. She also made history as the first woman to top Greece’s Daily Top Artists on Spotify, simultaneously holding the #1, #2, and #3 spots on Spotify and YouTube trends.
Now in 2025, Marina’s new album POP TOO is exploding across platforms, delivering an inspired, high-energy ride through tradition, innovation, and raw creativity.
Marina Satti isn’t just making music. She’s reshaping what Greek pop sounds like — and taking it global.
