Santa Semeli and the Monks is a music group formed in London in 2013 by Semeli Economou and Haraldur Ágústsson. Semeli and Haraldur first met in 2012 when Semeli cast Haraldur in her short film ''The Burning Bush''. The name Santa Semeli and the Monks originated from Semeli’s philosophy that religion should serve art. Monks symbolize dedication to a greater cause thus making music and art the priority. The group sees entertainment as the most beautiful and enjoyable way to convey messages. In June 2014 Santa Semeli and the Monks independently from their album produced and released their first single ‘Arrivederci Bob’ under their label Cosima Music. The upbeat tongue in cheek dance song reached number 3 in the Cyprus i-Tunes charts and amongst other radio stations was played by Frank Skinner on his Absolute Radio show. In December 2014 they released a single called Star. ==Musical style== Santa Semeli and the Monks musical style has been described as visual and filmic whilst filled with sense of humour and brutal honesty that engages its audience.

Santa Semeli and the Monks work with all musical genres, putting the emphasis on good quality songwriting both musically and lyrically.
