This is my new song "what can bend will break"!

It's part of my new album "what won't bend..." The lyrics and the vocals are my dear friend muckling!

I would be grateful if you gave my album a listen. You can find it on all streaming platforms and you can find links here on my website:

Two days ago, I released my debut album into the world. You can listen to it on streaming platforms whenever distrokid decides, but until then you can listen to it and support me on Bandcamp at :

I heard a lot of compliments and nice words from my friends and family about it already and I'm very happy and excited. By far the best compliment was "Did Alan Parsons help you write this album?"

This song means a lot to me. It’s Halia by Foivos Delivorias, which is itself a cover of Invitation to the Blues by Tom Waits. The Greek lyrics in this version feel like pure poetry if you understand the language.

Lately I’ve been thinking about covers. I’ve always struggled with the idea of doing them myself — it feels like I’m not really improving the song, just performing a version that already exists, poorly. And yet, it’s always felt amazing to play them for myself or for friends. So I’ve decided: why not do them anyway? Maybe it’s a way of sharing the songs that shaped me with whoever listens.

Still, every time I post a video of myself performing (which is rare), I wonder if I’ll ever be able to watch and listen without harsh judgment. When I hear my voice, I zero in on every imperfection. But as I keep posting, I’m starting to notice some of the good qualities too. I’m curious if I’ll ever be able to listen to myself the way a stranger might — without the criticism, just hearing the music. lyrics (english below)

Κοιταξέ την πώς σερβίρει Πιο λευκή κι απ' την ποδιά της Πως κρατάει ψηλά τον δίσκο Και την αξιοπρέπειά της Ροδανθός μες στα ρεμάλια Και Θεά μες στους θνητούς Η παγίδα για να γίνεις πάλι χάλια

Που ήδη νιώθεις σαν τον Cagney Μπροστά στη Rita Hayworth Μες στην τσίκνα μιας υπόγειας ζωής Διερωτάσαι αν είναι μόνη Αν φοβάται αν θυμώνει Θα σου δώσει κάποιο σήμα Μείνε κι άλλο και θα δεις

Σε ρωτάει "Θα πιείτε κάτι;" Και το ακούς σαν να 'ναι ποίημα Λες "Δεν ξέρω ό, τι να 'ναι όπως να 'ναι" Θα 'ναι κρίμα να στην πάρει κάποιος άλλος Ενώ εσύ πρωτος αισθάνθηκες του βυθού της τα κοράλια Μα ίσως πάλι όλα αυτά Να είναι κόλπο για να γίνεις πάλι χάλια

[...] lyrics

Look at the way she serves— whiter even than her apron, holding the tray up high, holding her dignity even higher. A wildflower among the riffraff, a goddess among mortals.

She’s the trap that pulls you back into the mess you’re already in— and you feel like Cagney standing in front of Rita Hayworth, all in the smoke and grease of an underground life.

You catch yourself wondering: Is she alone? Is she scared? Does she ever get angry? Will she give you some kind of sign? Stay a little longer and maybe you’ll see.

She asks, “Would you like something to drink?” and you hear it as if it were poetry. You say, “I don’t know… anything, whatever,” thinking it’d be a shame if someone else got to her first— when you’re the one who felt the corals hidden in her depths.

But maybe all of this is just another trick to leave you wrecked again.

I might be a little sick today, and Sea Monsters is a good song to sing when I’m sick.

It’s a song about the fear that hides in the unknown, and the fact that sometimes proximity is better than detachment from our problems. It’s better to be sad and in the dumps once in a while than to not know what sadness is. We who live in the contradictions of this capitalist society can sniff their bullshit. And fish are not afraid of sea monsters. Album's coming out towards the end of this month and i think this is my favourite song. :) Lyrics: Fish are not afraid of sea monsters, Over the dark blue borders, the freezing depths, fear lurks

Akinness unveils, shadow casters, Over the dark blue borders, the freezing depths, fear lurks, Sea monsters

Listen to the first song by deaf march, the music project by Niko, a 25-year-old singer-songwriter from Greece based in Latvia.

I’m really grateful to @jungleindierock for reaching out to small new artists like me and giving us a chance to be heard. It means a lot. <3

It may not be the best cover, but this song means a lot to me. This is “Tα Μπλουζ του Αποχωρισμού” (The Blues of Separation) by Pavlos Sidiropoulos — the man who brought rock music to Greece. It comes from his posthumous album “Τα Μπλουζ του Πρίγκιπα,” a collection of raw cassette recordings of him alone with his guitar at home. Despite its simplicity, this song always hits in a way I can’t explain. ❖ Lyrics (the excerpt i'm singing) Απόψε τόσο μόνος να ’μαι και ’συ να λείπεις μακριά σα να ’ τώρα το θυμάμαι το τελευταίο όταν μου ’πες έχε γεια Ήτανε 3 θυμάμαι Απρίλη κάποια Δευτέρα αλλιώτικη κι ήτανε κάπου προς το δείλι όταν δακρύσαμε στο τελευταίο φιλί Μεγάλωσες μες τα σαλόνια κι έμαθες στο πάρκο μες τα περιστέρια Με τον αλήτη που ’μπλεξες τι γύρευες αφρόψαρο στα φουσκονέρια ❖ Direct English Translation Tonight, to be so alone, and you to be gone far away. As if I remember it right now, the last time you told me “farewell.” It was the 3rd, I remember, of April, some Monday that was different, and it was somewhere toward dusk when we teared up at the last kiss. You grew up in the living rooms and learned in the park among the pigeons. With the vagrant you got mixed up with — what were you looking for? A surface-fish in the swelling waters.

Gefühl zine That is the prototype of a zine I’m going to publish soon. It’s a 16-page zine that unfolds into an A3 poster. It’s called gefühl (German for “feeling”), and it’s a collection of photographs I took during a self-reflective solo trip to Vienna in 2022, each accompanied by a poem or text conveying a feeling. It has nothing to do with my music, but it has to do with me, and I have to do with my music… So, in my journey to train my brain to treat my art like a business so I can try living off my art, I’m creating a website to host my music once it’s released, a merch store, and a blog where I’ll post written pieces on art, music, philosophy, etc. This zine is going to be included in the merch store, along with a similar zine/lyric booklet and the CD of my upcoming album, so stay tuned if you’re interested.

Yo! 🔥 I just checked your music you’ve got something special.

Let’s turn up the reach and get your music in front of *real fans* who actually care.

I promote artists on college radio, top playlists, and blogs real exposure, no bots.

Are you ready to level up?

If you are interested let me know I do love to make that happen.

Hey, thanks for the offer! Could you tell me a bit about yourself and what you do? I’d love to know who I’m working with before we talk promotion. :)

What do you do when your first album is sent away for mixing?

I suffer silently and try to find ways to prepare to show my work to the world, both locally and online. That’s why I decided to give Tumblr a try. It was recommended to me as the "shy girl’s social media" (not exactly its intended use when I first used it ;)). Honestly, I get it—it has nice features for audio posting, a lot of customization options, and most importantly, text-based posts.

So, this is Turning Leaves. I originally wrote this back in 2021 (?), with Greek lyrics, as one of my first attempts at writing music. It was a very different song and genre, and I never posted it because I thought my "true" genre was electronica at the time, and this song was entehno (Google it).

But this year, I rewrote it, keeping only some basic ideas and using my newly found style and voice to create something I’m proud of.

The album is coming out hopefully in early December 2025, and I’m going to keep posting weekly updates until my music reaches its fanbase.
