Despina Vandi is a Greek laïko singer who was born in StuttgartTübingen, West Germany and later raised in Kavala, Greece. She has had three records certified gold and 11 certified at least once platinum by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry of Greece. Since the beginning of her recording career in 1994, Vandi has released eight studio albums in Greece and Cyprus: Gela Mou (1994), Esena Perimeno (1996), Profities (1999), Gia (2001), Stin Avli Tou Paradeisou (2004), 10 Hronia Mazi (2007), and C'est La Vie (2010). She has also released one live album, titled Despina Vandi Live and two studio albums abroad: Gia (2003) and Come Along Now (2005). Vandi's releases have been issued on the record labels Minos EMI (1994–2000), Heaven Music (2001–09), and The Spicy Effect (2010–present).

Vandi has been awarded mostly in laïko and dance music categories. Since receiving her first nomination of her career in 1997, Vandi has won three Pop Corn Music Awards for Best Female Singer, Best Female Stage Performance, and Best Song, as well as three Arion Music Awards for Female Artist of the Year, Best-Selling Album of 2002 for Gia, and Live Album of the Year. Both of the aforementioned awards ceremonies have served as the national awards ceremonies until their respective cancellations. Vandi's first and most significant international award came in 2002 at the World Music Awards where she was awarded as being the Best-Selling Greek Artist of 2001; she was the first Greek artist actually recording in Greece to receive the award, and one of four overall. As Vandi began receiving international exposure while pursuing a career abroad during the period of 2003–05, her music and remixes of it earned awards and nominations at international dance music-oriented award ceremonies. She also received honours from dance-oriented radio stations in the United States, Portugal, and Russia. Since 2004, Vandi has received ten MAD Video Music Awards, including Female Artist of the Year and Artist of the Year, making her the second most honoured female artist and tied for third most honoured artist overall in the award's history as of 2010. In addition to these recognized awards, Vandi has also received an honourary award by Richard Branson of Virgin for her single "Ipofero", which was recognized as the best-selling single of all-time at the Greek Virgin Megastores, after surpassing sales of 100 thousand copies, while in March 2010 Alpha TV ranked her the top-certified Greek female artist of the phonographic era (since 1960), making her the youngest artist in both age and career longevity within the top ten. Overall, Vandi has received 20 recognized awards from 40 nominations.
