My father was also a musician - guitar player and maestro in local bands. He didn't want me to follow his paths, so i started a little bit old to play music ..I went to conservatory at the age of 12 and at the age of 13 I took a scholarship at the state conservatory of Thessaloniki and attended piano lessons with mr SarantisKassaras. These years I had the opportunity to take a scholarship at the Berklay school of music but I preferred to study classical piano. After 4 years, I took my diploma of piano performance and continued my piano lessons with Milena ,Molova (Plodviv and Sofia) - Roberto Szidon ( Germany) and Ruth Gerald (London). Then, after the classical years, I started to explore the jazz vocabulary by my self and found my path.

It is always good to know that your music has found somebody that likes it ...Jazz is a kind of music with limited audience, so I can say that i enjoy a lot any attention to my music.
Love Music : Please tell us more about your latest release ?
Inner relationship is an album that I had started to write 6 years ago .... I used a lot of stack sounds in my synth sounds and pads.

The song bebefini was a world jazz attempt with french lyrics that already plays in many radio in Europe.
