About Ilia Darlin...
Ilia Darlin, born Ilia Patapi, is a Greek-born recording artist, currently based in Los Angeles. Her name was inspired by the lead character, played by Melina Merkouri, from Julles Dassin's film Never on Sunday. Classically trained at the National Music Conservatory of Athens, Ilia started her career in an underground trip hop band called Stiletto Scag. In 2009 she caught the attention of The biggest-selling Greek director Nikos Perakis, who chose her to star in “Art Therapy”, a docu-fiction film, based on the lives of three key young Athenean artists. The movie was distributed by ODEON, was chosen as an official selection of the film festival in Thessaloniki and was released to all theaters in the Balkans. Her performance in the film recorded rave reviews and writers dubbed her “The next biggest thing” and the “Greek renaissance”. Her solo career as Ilia Darlin started when she traveled to Los Angeles to record with producers of Konvict Records . The songs were never officially released but were used to promote her work, perform at London Fashion Week, the biggest TV shows of Greece, and led to her opening for major acts, including Florence and the Machine, Orbital and co-headlining with Katy B at MTV Christmas Show in 2009 at Camden. By that time Ilia had been featured in numerous publications including Vogue, Super Super Magazine, Marie Claire, Esquire and others and had been described as “The most exciting thing to come from Mount Olympus since the muses”. Ilia was signed by EMI Greece in September 2011 where she returned to the U.S. to work with Music Producer and President of Creative BMG North America Billy Mann, at his house in Connecticut. Her first two singles, were licensed in 22 countries through EMI. She was nominated in 2012 for the "International Greek Woman of the year" award by Life & Style magazine as well as for "Fashion Icon of the Year" by Mad TV Music Video Awards. In 2013, Ilia Darlin released the EP “We Do What We Like” as a DIY effort to give her fans a taste of her long-awaited debut album, which she is currently working on and is set to be released in 2014. Her soothingly ecstatic sound, which she calls Mental Pop, is a mix of arty, shameless pop and haunting dance sounds. Her work, drawing influences from UK old school bassline, Harmony Korine, Angelo Badalamenti and Bjork.
New Single "We Do What We Like" was named Big Song of the Day with a rating 8/10.
"...is perhaps something of an acquired taste, but once you get into the bridge and chorus you realize you're knee deep in a song that wouldn't feel out of place as a worldwide Rihanna smash." POP JUSTICE
"Possessing a larger-than-life stage presence" GREEK REPORTER L.A
"...the closest comparison is Charli XCX on acid or Bjork..."
