The internationally renowned British-Cypriot classically trained soprano and Honorary Ambassador of the Encephalitis Society, Aliki, who after her success on Britain’s Got Talent, continues to move the world with her charismatic voice and unique story, moves even closer to her audience with the worldwide release of her first Christmas album, My kind of Christmas.

“The release of my Christmas album is a dream come true for me,” comments Aliki. “Christmas is my favourite holiday of the year and as such a Christmas album was something I wanted to do for a long time. The difficulties that humanity is going through, during this period, have given me the inspiration and the opportunity to give the world a gift that will bring hope for a better tomorrow.”

The album was recorded at the famous Smecky Studios in Prague, with The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Paul Bateman; this is the second collaboration between the two – the first being Aliki’s debut album Reflections.

My kind of Christmas is a journey into Aliki’s Christmas memories, from her childhood until the arrival of her eldest son, who was born on Christmas day. The album is a collection of classic and contemporary Christmas songs, unforgettable musical pieces which all associate with the love and warmth that surrounds the festive season.

The album includes the song Silent Night, which captures the true meaning of Christmas; the birth of Christ. The track Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas is a wish from the bottom of Aliki’s heart, spreading the magic of Christmas to the whole world. The album includes some all-time classic Christmas songs, like Santa Baby and Schubert’s Ave Maria. The last track, Angels We Have Heard on High, lifts the soul with its timeless lyrics.

Aliki has taken an active and leading role in global philanthropic work, including her participation in the London Marathon, Virgin Money 2015, and in a half marathon in Cyprus, raising public awareness.

Throughout her career, she has collaborated with artists around the world, including tenor Marios Frangoulis, the group Il Divo, the Greek-Cypriot singer and songwriter Michalis Hatzigiannis, George Perris and many others. At the same time, she has participated in musical performances around the world, including the USA, Canada, Mexico, the Canary Islands, Greece, France, Malta and the UK, as well as concerts for the President of the Republic of Cyprus and the British Forces in Cyprus.
