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.
