Vicky Moscholiou was born in Metaxourgeio, Athens, in 1943.

She first takes the stage in 1962 aged 19 singing in the club "Triana tou Cheila" along Grigoris Bithikotsis and Doukissa.

Two years later, her career reaches new heights when Bithikotsis introduces her to composer Stavros Xarchakos to sing the song "Chathike to Feggari" in the movie "Lola". Her interpretation of the song will remain a special and unforgettable page in the history of Greek music.

From then one she collaborates with the greatest composers: Xarchakos, Spanos, Zabetas, Kaldaras, Moutsis, Theodorakis, Kougioumtzis, Tsitsanis and Vamvakaris.

Moreover, two nightclubs are named after her songs: "Ta Ximeromata" and "Ta Deilina."

In the early 1960s, Vicky Moscholiou performs concerts with Stavros Xarchakos and Grigoris Bithikotsis throughout Greece, while in 1968 she self-finances the first concert of a Greek artist in Cyprus.

In 1967, the great singer marries Panathinaikos footballer Mimis Domazos and attracts the attention of all media, while later on she divorces. This romance made her a mother of two daughters.

She died August 16, 2005, after a tough two-year battle with cancer.
