Kat: You have fantastic and beautiful Lyric soprano vocals. It is a
result of many years of training. You started learning the piano at
the age of 5 and singing at the age of 11. At the age of 12 you were
studied the drums for a year. At the age of 13 you started
Classical singing along with the study of the traditional Cretan
lyre. You obtained your degree in Classical singing and also your
piano degree. And now you are front woman in the band ENEMY OF
REALTIY. You were also a member in band MEDAN AGAN and you also
work with SEPTIC FLESH. How can you handle all of this? This is
just amazing how talented you are and how many goals you have
reached at your young age!
Iliana: Thank you for your kind words. It is true that last June I
completed my diploma in classical singing and now I work as a
vocal tutor. Age doesn’t matter when it comes to passion. And
music is my passion. What is necessary is patience and persistence.
And always keep trying for the best.
Kat: Do you like to meet with your fans after concerts, talking with
them and giving autographs?
Iliana: Of course! It’s very nice to meet more and more people that
have come to see you perform. They deserve to get to know you,
since they showed you their appreciation by coming to see you live,
and not just listening to your songs on YouTube. It’s sad that
sometimes because of traveling for the concert, I have no more
energy or time to give to everyone. Signing sessions are also a
good solution, but that depends on the festival’s schedule.
Kat: You were born in Athens, Greece, but your family's origins lie in
the island of Crete. Would you like to play concert there for your
fans? Do you want to record one day any song in the Greek
language--especially for your fans in Greece?
Iliana: I would love to, but here in Greece, every unusual move takes
time to be accepted. Crete is a place I have always wanted to
perform and we are working on that.
Kat: Thanks for taking your time to do this interview. I wish you all
the best and hope to see you live on stage one day. Do you have any
special wishes to send greetings to anyone or tell something to
readers of ION INDIE MAGAZINE?
Iliana: I just want to give my best wishes for 2015 to everyone! Keep
trying to achieve your goals, no matter what the obstacles are.
