Annet Artani (Αννέτ Αρτάνι in Greek) (born Annette Stamatelatos), is a Greek-American singer/song writer. She is best known for representing Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, as well as co-writing world-wide hit "Everytime" with Britney Spears.
Annet was born Annette Stamatelatos to Greek immigrants Ioulia & Gregoris Stamatelatos in New York City, NY. Her family originates from the village of Karavados on the island of Kefalonia, Greece. She is named after her maternal grandmother, Anneta, and she chose to use her paternal grandmother’s first name in her stage name, Artani, as a dedication to both of them for guiding and inspiring her both during their lives and after their deaths.
Her older sister and only sibling also sings. She had the pleasure to sing with the Karabiotis brothers (Spiros & Makis), the most famous duet of traditional music on the island of Kefalonia. Annet and her sister formed a rock band named Nootropia, singing in Greek, and promoted on National Greek TV (NGTV) and Aktina FM, with a fast-growing New York following.
