Athena

Athena is the brainchild of singer-songwriter and fine artist Hilary Tomlinson. Born in Tulsa, OK, Tomlinson grew up a shy creative kid with a penchant for melodrama and performing. “I never really stopped playing pretend,” she adds.

Athena’s music - both sinister and delicately magnificent - deftly straddles the line between light and dark. Her sticky electro pop sensibilities call to mind Halsey or Lorde, but her flirtations with the macabre and emotional exploration are akin to Imogen Heap and Zola Jesus.
