In the hushed seclusion of the serene Greek island of Paros, amid the gentle whispers of the wind and the tender embrace of the sea, a musical metamorphosis took place. Within the depths of isolation, singer-songwriter Petros Ventouris, found solace in his guitar, and from the crucible of his struggles emerged a phoenix of hope and resilience. Confronting the demons of depression and anxiety during a tumultuous chapter in 2022, while battling a grave health issue, the moniker for his project “Ivy Robins” was born, embodying a profound juxtaposition. Ivy, reminiscent of the treacherous plant, mirrors the hardships he endured, while Robins soar as birds of hope, symbolizing the promise of brighter days.
The single, “Warrior” serves as a herald for Ivy Robins’ second studio album, “Sad Songs for Happy People” – a harbinger of the evocative singles awaiting us in the harmonious embrace of 2023 and 2024.

Special mention goes to Maria Karetsou, whose emotive backing vocals add depth and dimension to the already immersive narrative.
In “Warrior,” Ivy Robins extends his hand to the listener, beckoning us to join him on a profound quest for light, hope, love, and life.
