Sadahzinia (born Yolanda Tsiampokalou; ) is a Greek rapper, regarded by many as the first woman to enter the hip-hop scene in Greece. Her name is a play on the words: "sad" + "jah"+ the flower "zinia". Since 1994 she has been working in the studio and performing live in Greece and Europe with the successful hip-hop/ low bap group Active Member. In 2002 she officially became a member of the group.
In 1999 she took her degree of English Literature, Philosophical Faculty Athens.
She has played keyboards and percussions for a short while both in shows and in the studio, but in the last years she is more focused on her rap and on writing lyrics.
