This lady is already under evaluation in Crossover, having been discovered yesterday by one of my colleagues on the team, so there is no work to be done by the New Suggestions team - we just feel that her music deserves to be heard by as wide an audience as possible, so here goes:

OH. (Olivia Hadjiioannou) is an alternative progressive art rock songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist who lives in both Athens, Greece and New York City.

Last.fm suggests that she is Greek-born (Athens), with homes in both countries: http://www.last.fm/music/OH.+%28Olivia+Hadjiioannou%29" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/music/OH.+(Olivia+Hadjiioannou)

"OH. (Olivia Hadjiioannou) is a symphonic prog rock singer/songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist. She was born in Athens, Greece and lives in both in NYC and Athens.

OH. released the album, “Sleeping World” in March 2013 with a video clip for the song “Trials”.

She is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist and sound engineer. She composed (music and lyrics), performed (guitar (electric and acoustic), bass and violin (electric), drums, piano and voice), arranged, recorded, mixed and mastered the album in her recording studio."

However, myspace: http://www.myspace.com/olitunes" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/olitunes has her location as New York, and she has been added to progfreak (by Basil) as a US artist: http://progfreak.com/OH--156476.html" rel="nofollow - http://progfreak.com/OH--156476.html .

Her 6-track EP 'Sleeping World' is on bandcamp: http://music.olitunes.com/album/sleeping-world" rel="nofollow - http://music.olitunes.com/album/sleeping-world .

1. Trials (3:40)
2. Have You Ever (4:01)
3. Banned by the Deep (4:18)
4. Non-Existent Myth (4:27)
5. I Am the Pleasure (3:54)
6. Forget It (3:42)
