Sadahzinia (born Yolanda Tsiampokalou; Greek: Γιολάντα Τσιαμπόκαλου, in 1977) 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 addition, she is a writer and translator. She writes her own fairy tales for children and translates well-known and appreciable books. She was writing recipes for children in the children's newspaper Researchers for four years, while for two years she was collaborating with a Greek magazine, where she was writing theatrical work for children. With regard to the presentation of her fairy tales, she has organised a line of events in various spaces (bookshops, schools, in the children's museum, in cultural spaces, in libraries etc.) where she presents theatrical works written by her, with big attendance of children. She also has her own whole page column in a newspaper.
