Athena is a songwriter of extra-ordinary depth, who has been playing to sell out audiences across the UK. As an unsigned artist, the buzz about Athena was quite extra- ordinary. Fans and the media use words like “beguiling” and “breathtaking” to describe not only her exceptional voice but also songwriting that seamlessly draws on her Greek and English roots in a unique and mesmerising way. An artist of outstanding talent, expect to hear a lot more of this exceptional singer.
“A part of my job is keeping an ear out for new artists. When Ian Anderson of fRoots magazine called with with the option of this mesmerising new artist, I thought she was worth the risk and I hope you will think so too.”
David Agnew, Director of The Met
