Vassy (full name Vasilliki Karagiorgos) is a female jazz/R&B vocalist born in Darwin, Australia to Greek immigrant parents. She was discovered in 2003 after winning an Australian (Triple J) radio contest and quickly began to receive recognition in Australia for her vocal talent (her style is heavily influenced by Billie Holiday). In late 2005, Vassy released her debut album My Affection. From this album, the single "Wanna Fly" was recently featured in radio spots for Diet Sprite as well as the hit ABC-TV series Grey's Anatomy.

Vassy is one of the musicians featured in the US as part of the 2007 Hilton Hotels Global Multimedia Campaign.

She is currently based between London and New York City.
