Garbi had her biggest commercial success with Arhizo Polemo and Evaisthisies, two of the highest selling albums of the 1990s (decade), followed by the double To Kati, which is one of the best-selling albums of the 2000s (decade) in Greece. Her albums have been released on Sony Music Entertainment Greece (1989–2009, 2013), Universal Music Greece (2010–2013) and Panik Platinum (2016–present). She has released material on Incipit Records, Front Seat, Planetworks and 2645 Records.
Garbi began her music career as a duo with her sister, Liana Garbi as Adelfes Garbi. Breaking away from the duo, Garbi featured on compilation albums Ta Deka Dekaria Vol 1 and Vol 2, which were followed by her debut solo album Prova. In 1992, Garbi's fourth album Tou Feggariou Anapnoes was certified gold and spawned Garbi's first commercial hit "Pes To M'Ena Fili". This led to her participating in the Eurovision Song Contest 1993 with "Ellada, Hora Tou Fotos", taking 9th place. The same year Garbi began collaborating with songwriter Phoebus in a partnership that resulted in 1 gold, 1 platinum and 3 multi-platinum albums.
Garbi's popularity culminated in the mid-1990s early-2000s (decade), becoming a prominent performer of the laiko-pop genre reigning at the time. The first annual music awards were materialized in Greece with the launch of the Pop Corn Music Awards; in 1997 Garbi won four awards for her album Arhizo Polemo. She was awarded album of the year and song of the year in 1999, for album Evaisthisies and its title track, respectively. Garbi has also received one Arion Music Award, and received two honorary MAD Video Music Award for her 30 years of discography in 2019 and for outstanding contribution to the Greek music industry in 2022 citing sales in excess of 2,000,000. She has been nominated for awards in laïko, contemporary laïko, pop, and dance categories and has won 12 recognized awards from over 45 nominations.
