I was born in Nicosia, Cyprus. I took my first lessons at a local music school were I started as a bouzouki student. I began my classical education with clarinet lessons and music theory. Later on took classical harmony and when I heard my first chord sequence on piano I suddenly fell in love with composition.  I was lucky to enroll in a university, the Ionian, in the island of Corfu. There I had the opportunity to meet some very charismatic people and expand my vision to beyond what I was before.  I use music to externalize my feelings, my thoughts. I studied classical composition in the conservatory, later at the University just to realize that I don't have enough colors to paint with satisfaction on my music canvas. I try to expand my palette through technology and knowledge. I admit I rely on my intuition and instinct on many cases as a composer but also as a person. Also I believe I got a little lost lately in the process of externalizing my inner self, because of the few dark sides of my character. I always try to depict the world sencerely as I view it in my compositions, as any honest artist who respects his work. In the process of exploring my own style and language, I am in the midst of music fusion recipes laying between electro-acoustic, ambient, classical symphonic and contemporary influences.
