Stylianou is also one-third of the infectious, Boswell Sisters-inspired close-harmony vocal trio Duchess, which has amassed many mentions in year-end critics’ polls and received the 2021 & 2022 Vocal Group of the Year Award from the Jazz Journalists Association. In addition to her five albums as a leader and four with Duchess to date, Stylianou documented her close musical bond with guitar legend Gene Bertoncini and sought-after bassist Ike Sturm on the 2022 album Dream Dancing (awarded 5 stars in Downbeat Magazine). This intimate, collaborative, highly spontaneous trio focuses on standards, with Bertoncini’s astute nylon-string voicings and arrangements in the forefront. She has made numerous top festival and club appearances, toured internationally, and is currently developing a project that will combine her Irish and Greek-Cypriot musical roots. Melissa has a busy private voice studio and enjoys teaching singers of all ages and abilities.
