The Greek born Armenian singer/songwriter is currently visiting Armenia. Athena has a musical repertoire behind her and enjoys name and fame in Greece,where she has released her music in Greek. She is visiting Armenia for the very first time.
Athena has been perfoming on stage since she was very young. She tried to represent Greece at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2008, having competed in the national final. She released her first single Party like a freak in 2011.
Athena was recently interviewed by Armpress.am where she stated :
It would be an honour to represent Armenia at the Eurovision Song Contest.
