Electra Barakos, was born in Los Angeles California, but raised in Athens, Greece.

She was influenced by her father who is a professional Bass player, and she started her music career from a very early age. At the age of 8 she involved in a professional children’s choir in Greece, performed for the Greek President, and attended a Performing arts high school in Athens.

After graduating she returned to Los Angeles to continue her music studies and to pursue a music career.

Electra’s very successful Kickstarter campaign last year helped her record her upcoming full length album, “These Times”.

Her new album was produced and mixed by Mike Plotnikoff and is a mix of rock, pop and classical music! On one of the tracks called “I Can’t Breathe”, Greek musician Phil X plays bouzouki and guitar.

Electra’s CD will be released in November, whereas we can see a preview of her album by watching the new video for These Times song. Electra admits that this song was written about her boyfriend and drummer Dan Welby after one of their worst arguments.
