Melisses (Greek; Μέλισσες, stylized as "ΜΕΛΙSSES") are a Greek band consisting of Christos Mastoras (vocals), Costas Mavrogennis (bass), and Thanos Laitsas (guitar). Since 2014, they have been signed to Panik Records.

Their career started in 2008. They have 16 diamond, platinum, and gold digital singles and one gold album. 12 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. They have won 23 MAD VMA music awards, ten of which were for Best Band.

History

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. "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.[1]

They made their debut with the song "Kryfa", which remained in the top 10 of Greek radio for 3 months,[2] 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 and were nominated for best Greek act at the European MTV.
