Whilst studying in London and influenced by the many different colors, cultures and sounds of the city and infused with the her nostalgia for her home country she decided to form a band and name it “Amalgamation Project”. With this band she would create a mixture of acoustic and electric sounds, folk and western melodies, forgotten tales and todays worries.

Vasilikí s love for polyphonic folk music has motivated her to create the all-female a capella ‘Amalgamation’ choir. Sample of their work, has traveled around the world through youtube with millions of views. The band and the female choir rarely perfom together but they’ve put together their favourite songs especially for the Greek Fringe Festival.
