My Collaboration Project

Greek Jazz and Classical Singers Based in Brisbane - Mel Lathouras and Katerini Manolatos - Girl from Greece

Girl From Greece is mine & Katerini Manolatos’ production company—a vibrant tapestry weaving our love for Hellenic heritage with a Greco-Retro Soundtrack. We work with Meanjin’s best musicians from trios to a seven-piece band to create rich, immersive musical experiences for our beautiful community.

We proudly presented a tribute to Nana Mouskouri for her 90th birthday at QPAC (Queensland Performing Arts Centre) on October 11th—selling out two shows!

If you’re looking for something bold, soulful, and world-inspired for your event—whether it’s a festival, corporate function, or cultural celebration—we’d love to bring the magic of Girl From Greece to your stage. 🎤✨🇬🇷

G’day, I’m Mel Lathouras!
I’m a Soul-Jazz Singer, Songwriter, and
Course Creator for Singers.

I co-front Girl From Greece with my bestie Katerini - a couple of on the cusp Gen X-Millenials unleashing Hellenic bangers with a non-good girl twist.

I belt jazz, soul & blues, write self-love anthems, and create musical experiences that are equal parts electrifying, healing, and ‘laugh-til-you-snort’ funny.

At 40, I decided my rock ‘n’ roll, unapologetic era starts now—because self-love is my rebellion.

When I’m not on stage, I’m mentoring the next wave of femme singers inside Fearless Singer—a coaching & community space where we work on voice, mindset & taking up space without apology.
