FOTA choro

I am a singer, accordionist, I write lyrics, music and poetry.
I believe that art is one reason to be alive. The other is love.
I worked many years as a singer exploring and studying all the depth of hellenic music since ancient times until modern times. I also loved and studied other folk musical traditions, something I continue until today
I believe in the therapeutical effect of music on people, mainly from my own experience.
After wandering in venues and night clubs for more than 25 years I decided to desert the night musician life. Since 2015 I perform on the street between Hellas, Turkije, Balkans and U.S.A. and in some selected venues and events.
I am one of the Duo FOTA the other one is Philip Taylor, comrade in life and music. We try to live with sensitivity to nature, people, animals. 
We recently released our first vinyl record album titled "8 medicinal elements of music", with six original first published songs and a collection from our first album "FOTA KALIYUGA 2022
I lead the "Choir of Peace" in Halkida where we explore the beautiful ways that music can heal us and give us joy, since October 2024.
