]]> Dollmaker is the musical moniker of fully independent Greek South African indie rock / alternative pop singer-songwriter and producer Chloé-Marie Kikillus.

Currently based in Athens, she grew up between the untamed garden of a Johannesburg haunted home and the bedazzled HTML of the online dress-up games that raised so many girls in the 2000s. Her distinctive sound combines the digital and kitsch – bedroom-pop production, gauche GarageBand MIDI, and video-game sonics – with poetic songcraft grounded in the voice and acoustic guitar.

Inspired in equal parts by romance and cynicism, dollmaker’s incisive lyrics spare no personal accounts from tongue-in-cheek scrutiny or sociocultural critique.
Released in April 2024, her debut album ‘In Freefall I Feel Like You’ earned her features in local media, including Beater and Avopolis, and indie radio play from Greece’s own Strummer and Palestine’s Radio Alhara as far as WXNA 101.5 Nashville.

Since her sold-out first full-band show last November, she’s been laying low to work on a second album under her eternal motto – wholehearted audiolovesnark.

]]> The music family of ody icons was created in 2019 in Paris but has existed since thousands of years ago. Through their theatrical style they created an amalgam of musical genres: Pop meets traditional music, world music meets rock, alternative indie meets the 70’s glam scene. They have released 2 EPs to date, while in 2023 they released their first full-length album entitled POLYDRAMA with songs mainly in English with some Greek and Cypriot touches. From their appearances at underground Athenian parties to their concerts at the Stavros Niarchos Cultural Foundation and the main stage of Athens Pride in Syntagma, from their collaborations with Onassis Stegi to art and music festivals in Greece and Cyprus, ody icons manage to lure their audience into an unapologetic dance and an exhilarating sadness.
