Eleanna Finokalioti lives in New York City and is one of those people lucky enough to make a living doing what she loves.

An actress, singer, artist, she was born in Greece, grew up in Crete and as she tells protothema.gr, she made a “one-trick pony jump to Broadway”.

In recent years, the Greek artist has been following her dream and living and working in a city where her reputation and artistic weight is as heavy as her history in culture, science, technology and economics.

Eleanna Finokalioti notes that although it is not an easy task, dreams, ideals and will have no limit and above all honor and stresses that she admires her colleagues who may even work three jobs for a living but insist on serving art.

Eleanna Filikolioti stresses that for her, although she was lucky, returning to Greece is not possible today despite the lure of proposals and the “cute” and urges young people not to hesitate for a moment to pursue even the dreams that seem elusive.
