In 2013, the seventh season of “Britain’s Got Talent” introduced the world to Aliki
Chrysochou, a British-Greek soprano whose journey to the stage was as remarkable as her performance. Born to a British mother and a Greek-Cypriot father, Aliki was immersed in a rich tapestry of musical influences from a young age. Her early exposure to diverse musical genres laid the foundation for her future endeavors in the world of classical and contemporary music.
Aliki’s path to the “Britain’s Got Talent” stage was not without its challenges. At eighteen, she was diagnosed with focal encephalitis, a severe inflammation of the brain that impaired her ability to speak, read, write, and walk. This condition posed a significant threat to her burgeoning musical aspirations. However, with unwavering determination and the support of her family, Aliki embarked on a rigorous journey of rehabilitation. Remarkably, she regained her abilities and returned to her passion for singing, a testament to her resilience and dedication.
