Athena is one of those people wholive and breathe and think and talk about music and she writes with the samesort of direct focus. During a Channel 5 / Sky Arts documentary made about her,legendary songwriter Chris Difford(Squeeze) described Athena as someone who, “writes and sings from the heart. She doesn't need to be packaged byanyone – she is simply and beautifully her." She has the samesort of clear artistic vision that marks out Norah Jones or Tori Amos or Bjorkand it’s matched with a fresh, limitless ambition. “Athena’s classic, with a twist…” noted Jamie Cullum.

Born in London to Greek parents,Athena’s mother would sing her to sleep. Despite all the music around thehouse, the young Athena was denied a piano until she was 16, and herbusinessman father insisted she study business so she headed to Bath Universitybut continued performing. After securing a First Class Degree in BusinessAthena told her parents, quite directly she would be doing music full time andenrolled on a course at Trinity College, London.

Athena’s debut album, ‘BreatheWith Me’, drew many excellent reviews, indeed The Guardian commenting that shewas “Brave and original. A remarkably fine singer songwriter.” Since then shehas headlined and sold out numerous UK tours, played at Glastonbury, had songscovered by other artists and seen her own music synced with TV, commercials andmovies. All the while Athena has built a strong and sizeable following with thesort of word of mouth that can only come from connecting directly with theemotional heart of your audience.

‘Peeling Apples’ her second albumwas produced by Swedes Magnus Frykberg and Tobias Froberg (Ane Brun and LisaEkdahl), and co-writers on the record include Richard Causon (Ryan Adams, EthanJohns, The Kings of Leon, Rufus Wainwright), and Jamie Hartman (Joss Stone,Anastacia) features on a duet. Further to headlining London Bush Hall in March2012, her first single, Finding England featured on the cover album of Wordmagazine and was selected for the Visit England campaign to coincide with theLondon Olympics 2012. In December Athena featured singing on the Save The ChildrenTV ad in the UK with her version of ‘Silent Night’ while her own song ‘BreatheAgain’ is featuring on Concern’s annual TV ad campaign in the UK & Ireland(March 2013).

She is currently recording her firstGreek-language record Giini Aggeliwith EMI, co-produced by Giorgos Andreou (Tsaligopoulou Dalaras, Vitali,Alkinoos Ioannidis) and featuring Lina Nikolakopoulou (Haris Alexiou, EleftheriaArvanitaki, Alkistis Protopsalti).
