Della is the first Cypriot artist ever nominated for the Music Moves Europe Awards—an award previously given to Adele, Dua Lipa, and Hozier. In a Zoom recorded conversation with KHUM DJ Jordan, she shares the surreal moment she discovered her nomination while working at a festival, what it means to represent a the island nation of Cyprus on the world stage, and the hard-earned lessons from building a music career in a small, overlooked scene. We talk about her musical evolution from Nirvana to traditional Cypriot influences, practical strategies that actually worked in building her following, and the confidence required to keep going when success isn’t guaranteed. Her ESNS performance is January 15th.
