Singer Sofia Proimou addresses public criticism regarding her appearance

On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, singer Sofia Proimou appeared on the Sigma channel program "Irthe kai edese," hosted by Nikolas Mousikou. During the interview, Proimou discussed her two-decade-long career in the music industry and reflected on the persistent scrutiny she has faced regarding her physical appearance.

Proimou revealed that since her teenage years, she has frequently been subjected to unsolicited advice from the public, including comments pressuring her to lose weight despite compliments about her face. She addressed the prejudice linking her appearance to her musical genre, noting that people often wrongly assumed she performed "entekhno" music simply because of her looks rather than her personal style. When she transitioned to performing in night clubs (bouzoukia), she faced further questioning about her artistic identity.

Emphasizing her professional resilience, Proimou stated that she has learned to manage these comments, asserting that whether she is affected by such criticism is her own personal concern. She maintained that after 20 years in the music business, her focus remains on her professional journey rather than external judgment.
