Vassy

Vasiliki Karagiorgos, known professionally as Vassy, was born on February 18, 1983, in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, to Greek immigrant parents from Kozani and Grevena. She began her career in music, which led her to relocate to Los Angeles, United States, in the early 2010s to expand her international presence. Her commitment to music and songwriting has established her as a notable figure in the electronic dance music genre.

Vassy’s career includes significant milestones and collaborations. She has released albums such as “My Affection” (2005), “Beautiful Day” (2012), and “We Are Young” (2015). Her singles have achieved charting success, with several reaching number one on the US Dance Club Songs chart, including “We Are Young,” “Hustlin'” (featuring Crazibiza and Dave Audé), “Nothing to Lose,” “Lost” (with Afrojack featuring Oliver Rosa), “Doomsday” (with Lodato), and “Concrete Heart” (with Disco Fries). She has collaborated with artists like David Guetta and Tiësto on tracks such as “Bad” and “Secrets.”

Beyond her musical releases, Vassy has made contributions to popular culture through various placements. Her music has been featured in film trailers for Disney’s Oscar-winning “Frozen,” the Tina Fey film “Admission,” and in campaigns for Target Australia. Her work has also appeared in commercials for brands like Pepsi and Skechers, in Victoria’s Secret productions, EA Games, Nickelodeon, and on TV shows including ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy.” In 2023, Vassy received an Icon Award at the Electronic Dance Music Awards, becoming the first woman to be honored with this award.
