Her 5TH CD, LITTLE GIRL DREAMS, received 5 Outmusic Award nominations and LOVE IS LOVE won for Best Outstanding Pop Song of the Year in 2009. LITTLE GIRL DREAMS was by produced by the Emmy/Grammy Winning Cynthia Daniels (Melissa Etheridge, Dave Mathews Band, “Producers” on Broadway, etc.) and LOVE IS LOVE was co-written with the multi-platinum songwriter Lorraine Ferro. Athena’s music is alternative pop, and can be compared to Annie Lennox, Sarah McLaughlin, and Regina Spektor.
Athena has over 100,000 fans from touring, YouTube, and her mailing list. She has fans and friends in almost every city in North America from her years of touring that she continues to do. She has performed at venues such as the Jacob Javitz Center, The Knitting Factory (NY/LA), The Railway Club (Vancouver), and The Living Room (NYC). She has received countless press in local newspapers, TV stations, and national magazines such as Air America Radio, local commercial radio stations, college stations, local TV Breakfast News shows, and newspapers such as The Village Voice, Toronto Star, AM New York, Curve Magazine, AfterEllen.com, Go Magazine and more. She sells 30+ CDs at her shows. She has shared the stage with Sarah McLachlan, Jim Carrey, Peaches, Janeanne Garafalo, Nellie McKay, Stephen Schwartz and more.
One of Athena’s TV appearances was on the Food Network as host and contestant in a Cooking/Dating Reality Show called $12 Challenge. In the show, Athena hosted her segment, created her storyline, competed, and won! Also recently, Athena booked an ADVIL commercial in which she talked about pursuing her dreams, and sang one of her original songs, LITTLE GIRL DREAMS.
Last year, Athena was hired to write the theme song for LIVING IN CAPTIVITY, a TV pilot currently being shopped to networks. The theme song was animated by Emily Hubley (who did the animation for Hedwig and the Angry Inch). LIVING IN CAPTIVITY was an Official Selection of the New York Television Festival and is currently represented by Legacy Management.
Athena has a team behind that includes her manager (Maude Kaplan Management), publicist (SASi PR), and an administrative publishing deal with Ed Razzano. She is currently in production for another music video.
As a host and arts correspondent, Athena has worked for PBS, Air America Radio, 103.9 FM in Toronto, and Here! TV. Her ‘How To’ videos on Songwriting and Acting on ExpertVillage.com and YouTube.com have garnered over 100,000 hits.
As an actress, Athena has appeared in numerous commercials, Film, TV and Off-Broadway productions including Love Sucks at the New York Musical Theater Festival (which was adored by the NY press), Fran in The Day They Shot John Lennon and principle roles on the History Channel, CNN, etc. She won Best Comedy at Canada's YTV Achievement Awards (Judge Eugene Levy). As a writer, Athena was commissioned by the Wildlife Conservation Society to write a poem for the opening of the Alien Stingers Exhibit at the NY Aquarium. Also, her poetry and music is currently displayed at the Museum for Peace in Uzbekistan.
Athena has been teaching songwriting, music and drama since the age of 19. She has worked for the Manhattan New Music Project, The Brooklyn Museum, Oregon State University, Lincoln Center, and dozens upon dozens of public schools, organizations and workshops across the tri-state area. She has taught songwriting to every age level (4 to adult), ability level (autistic to gifted), socio-economic background (Bronx to Manhattan Private schools), and ability level (beginner to professional). Athena’s ability to connect with children of all backgrounds, encourage them to open up about their thoughts and feelings, and translate them into song has moved countless teachers, parents, and community members to laughter and tears.
Athena’s sense of humor, insight, ability to connect with children, and overflowing talent continues to touch lives across North America.
