Paparizou Elena

Helena Paparizou (Έλενα Παπαρίζου in Greek characters), born 31 January 1982 in Örgryte, Gothenburg, Sweden, is a popular Greek singer, best known in Europe for winning the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 for Greece with the song “My Number One”.
1999-2003
Paparizou, determined to succeed with and fulfill her dreams of being an entertainer, joined childhood friend and fellow Swede-Greek Nikos Panagiotidis, at the age of seventeen, to form Antique. The duo quickly signed their first record label contract, with the Swedish record label Bonnier.
Solo career
Despite the group’s success, Antique broke up in 2003 on good terms, as the band had “run its natural course,” and Paparizou set about going solo. She signed a solo recording contract with Sony Music and, in December 2003, released her first solo single, “Anapantites Klisis” (later released in English as “I Don’t Want You Here Anymore”), a song written especially for her by singer and songwriter Christos Dantis.
