I love composing music, but I hate “selling” myself.

It all started when I first heard Jon Lord’s Hammond solo on Deep Purple’s song “Highway Star”.
I said to myself: “That’s what I want to do in my life”, and from that day on, Music became my life.

In my teenage years, I started composing my own music and at the same time performing live with numerous Rock bands in small pubs/clubs and ended up playing in big gigs with Famous Greek Artists.

Simultaneously, I pursued my dreams by taking a number of specialized courses in Classical music (Piano, Harmony, Counterpoint, Fugue and Orchestration).

My love for Jazz music, has led me to Marcos Alexiou, a Legendary Greek Jazz pianist and teacher, where I started taking jazz lessons and ended up in making a music album and a Jazz Theory Book with him.

In 1997, I started composing music for various TV and Radio campaigns, which I continue doing until today. 

In 1999, I started composing and arranging songs for Top Greek artists. From that day on, my name appeared on more than 50 music records and many of these collaborations were certified gold and platinum.

In 2006, I formed my first fusion group called “TECHNICAL INFO” and in 2008 we recorded our debut album titled “Danger”. It was a great honor to have guest appearances from the world renowned drummer Dave Weckl (Chick Corea) and the amazing bass player Tom Kennedy (Dave Weckl Band, Planet X).
The CD was eventually released in the USA and Europe.

Meanwhile I’ve composed Soundtracks for 2 movies and a full-length Musical called “Starfest” which premiered in October 2015 at The Chapel Theatre, St. Louis USA.
The same year “Starfest” won 1st price at the Santa Fe Musical Theatre Festival and was finalist at the New York Musical Theatre Festival.

2015 together with Kyriakos Moustakas, we found Rabbeats Music, a Music Production Company specializing in Original Music, Publishing, Music Supervision, Sound Design and Audio Post Production, for TV, Web, Radio campaigns.

Singer and songwriter from Cyprus , living in Nicosia.
I am a solo artist but I am also in a band called Minus One.
