Ilia’s first studio work released by EMI, topped the Greek charts and was licensed in 21 countries.After her performance at Pop-Kultur in Berlin being 6 months pregnant to her son Phoenix, IOTA PHI got mentioned at Musik Express, Spiegel, earned radio play on Radio1 and has since been selected by #INES talent for a number of appearances.
Her new work will be released through her record label Desire Bay in 2021.
IOTA PHI Quotes/Press Reviews:
" Ilia Darlin performt auf der Bühne, als wäre das Panda Theater die Hollywood Bowl. Vielleicht muss man es genau so machen."
Musikexpress - Pop-Kultur Berlin
“Ilia has perfected a performative style like no other in the local music industry…she gradually shed her layers as she shuffled into a hypnotic and futuristic goth-pop that took a mystical turn with the use of the traditional organ of santour, creating a perfectly orchestrated musical chaos.”
