Adamantia Stamatopoulou, better known as Mando, is a Greek singer.

She was born in Athens to a jazz pianist father and an opera soprano mother. From a young age, she had shown early talent in singing, so her parents signed her up for the National Conservatory. Her talents extended to not only vocals, but also to eventually composing her own melodies.

After the completion of her music studies, she signed her first record contract with CBS, which gave her the international hit "Fill me up" and offered her the chance of an international career at a very young age.After staying at the United States for a time for training, she released a series of albums, toured around the world, and collaborated with various artists, including fellow competitor Sertab Erener.

Mando initially wanted to represent Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest 1989, but lost to Marinella by one point. Because one of the jury members didn't vote, she took action against them; while Mando won the lawsuit, it was too late to change anything

She won the Greek national final to represent the country for the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 with the song Never Let You Go, which placed 17th with 25 points.
