Nietche had said smth really wise in his lifetime. That in music, the passions enjoy themselves'. (Well, especially in rock n' roll, Ladydust would add by laughing - in the broader & definitely philosophical meaning of the word..

This is the reason why she studied music for some years, (2 years of drums & 1 of electric guitar & music theory at filippos nakas music school) & why she also started playing music as a jokey, presenting in every corner of the world, her performances signing as Ladydust. In the process, she followed also for 6 months the 'audio' section of SAE music school.

'That weren't no dj that was hazy cosmic jive' declare Starman's lyrics right?.

Blanche Du Bois at the theatrical play 'A street car named 'Desire', said something similar to Nietszche. She said: 'I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, Yes, Magic! I try to give that to people.'

That's why Ladydust also chose acting. In fact acting, was her first choice back to the years after high school, & this huge time of absence that followed, had certainly created this need to spread more magic. Like Blanche.

So she did for some years studies with some famous coaches (to name a few: Bernard Hiller, Leon Herbert, Cosmin Chivu, Olga George & entered the hot game.

The last years found her either in starring or in cool guest roles in international movies such as: Portable Life (NL), Receta (CA), Tere Mere Darmiyan (IN), The Final Pay Off (GR) & enough more. Also with Oscar awarded directors like Guy Nattiv in the movie Magic Men (IL).

In addition she did starring roles on tv, (Heaven's Key ANT 1), theatrical plays, videoclips, (some shown in uk & us MTV like Seal of Lilith),Voice Acting, audiobooks, tv spots & the starring roles in 20th Century's Fox: Rio, Rio 2, Ice Age 4 & Ice Age 5.

She's also been an executive producer in movies like The Penal Colony, which went to the short film corner at Cannes film fest, got awarded at Sydney & was in the selection of shortage fest as one of the best indie films globally.
In addition to being an executive producer, she's also been an assistant producer in the Bollywood feature film ‘Tere Mere Darmia.’ (IN)

Cοming to acting now, the movie The Final Pay Off in which she is starring
recently (2021) took distribution in US by Bay View Entertainment and is already on Amazon, Wallmart, Deep Discount, Barnes & Noble etc. It is also available to be watched in on line streaming platforms

On July 20th, 2021 it was chosen by the platform of Cinesquare as film of the week.

As for voice acting, she has been among other collaborations, the voice in the audiobooks of uk based On Time Books. In 2021 she collaborated (again in audiobooks), with the platform of Book Voice.
Ladydust has done enough tv & radio spots for famous brands. Someone can listen to some of those in her Voice Acting Showreel.
