Melisses (Greek; Μέλισσες, stylized as "ΜΕΛΙSSES") are Christos Mastoras (vocals), Costas Mavrogennis (bass) and Thanos Laitsas (guitar). They are one of the most successful bands in Greek discography and since 2014 they belong to the roster of Panik Records.
Their career started in 2008 and since then they have been one of the most successful bands in Greece, making and breaking records. Indicatively, they have 1 gold record and 12 triple platinum, platinum and gold digital singles, 10 of their songs have entered the top 10 of the radio chart and 5 of their singles have remained in no1 of airplay for more than 70 weeks. At the same time, they count more than 450 million YouTube views and 60 million Spotify streams, they have made over 1,300 live shows and they have appeared in the most important theaters throughout Greece. Also they have won 21 Mad VMA music awards, of which 9 times this for Best Band and they have collaborated with more than 30 artists from all music genres.
The band was created in May 2008, with Christos Mastoras on vocals, Thanos Laitsas on guitar, Kostas Mavrogenis on bass, Pantelis Kyramargios on keyboards and Iakovos Sampsakis on drums. The current composition of the group emerged after the withdrawals of Iakovos Sampsakis (2015) and Pantelis Kyramargios (2017).
The name MELISSES came from a random event, which turned out to be karmic. "We were all members of the group in Thiseio and we drank rakomela. At some point, a guy passes by and shouts "here are the best honeys, from the best bees!" "One of us stung the attack and threw the idea on the table to bring out the band Melisses", Christos Mastoras has said in an interview.
They made their debut with the song "Kryfa", which remained in the top 10 of Greek radio for 3 months, while in March 2010 they released their first album, entitled "Mystiko".
In 2010 they received the award for Best New Artist at the Mad VMA, while they even reached the European MTV as they were nominated for best Greek act.
From the beginning of their career, Melisses have made absolute success… and they continue!
