Music has always been a constant passion. I started playing piano, trumpet and other brass instruments but also the percussion. When I was 12 I joined my hometown marching band, participating in fairs and parades and soon a scholarship took me to Cyprus State Youth Orchestra, where I got to perform in numerous events in many European cities, playing mostly classical music.
Same age (15 years old) I picked up my first electric guitar and taught myself by using my piano, theory and harmony skills & knowledge.
After completing my high school studies and army time I moved to Prague (Czech Republic), to study at the Charles University, one of the oldest (founded in 1348) and most prestigious European universities. I studied piano, composition, conducting and music pedagogy. In the years that followed, i formed many bands, mostly rock bands and i have been a guitarist, vocalist and a performer for over 20 years now.

Besides my classical music oriented studies i was always a big fan of pop & rock music!
I was always focused on my guitar practicing and continued to perform with my current band Minus One, and other side projects as a session guitarist!
The past 15-20 years i toured Europe, Russia and the US, and shared stages with Anathema, Katatonia, Paradise Lost, Uli Jon Roth, Whitesnake, Electric Guitars, Firewind (Gus G), Steamroller, Glenn Hughes (former Deep Purple), Jason Richardson, Tosin Abasi, Dream Theater and many more.
I have also performed in venues and festivals like the legendary Whisky a GO GO in West Hollywood and the SXSW festival in Austin-Texas.
Appeared in many TV shows around Europe with the biggest and most important appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest final in Stockholm-Sweden in 2016. The Contest was broadcasted around the world and viewers are more than 200 million. I have been awarded many times for my contribution in the music industry in my country.


My initial influences were greek vintage songs called " rembetika " which are based on hitzaz scales and modes. I listen to any kind of music from the 50's until the 2020's.
I love song-writing and music production!!!
