About me
I was born in Athens, Greece,in April 1967.
I started my love affair with music at the tender age of 13. I am a Multi-instrumentalist specializing in Organ, Piano, Flute and Orchestral Percussion and I am also a Yamaha featured keyboard artist.
My tour in Japan under the auspices of the Greek National Tourism Organization broadened my horizons as to Asian music.
I have been working as a music teacher since the age of 18. I have teached Electone (electronic organ) that is also my specialty, modern piano, and also music technology.
I am the conductor of the Youth Orchestra of the city of Farsala that consists from 15 young musicians aged 12 to 20 years old.
I have transcribed and written over 100 piano arrangements. I have also composed music for over 25 piano and orchestral books. I have performed on many stages as a session musician for many decades and I have been booked for numerous concerts all over Greece. Over the past few years, I have performed in various theaters and concert halls as a member of Constantine Duo, made up of George Laskaridis (trumpet) and myself (organ). Our repertoire consists of my compositions.
I have also performed at Thessaloniki Concert Hall, one of the major concert halls in Greece
As a composer,I was featured at Bleeding Fingers contest by Hans Zimmer, among 7000 music compositions.
I have composed music for several fairy tales as well as for the film“Game of Assassins”as an additional composer
In May 2019 I had the honor to be in the finals of an international film music competition organized by Megaron Athens Concert Hall.
Ι had a long-term collaboration with the 1st principal cellist of the National Orchestra of Athens, Dimitris Gouzios. We produced a CD together called“Cello Christmas”that has various arrangements of Christmas carols.
Being interested in art, I was recently booked for a painting exhibition featuring the Greek artist Petros Matzakos
I make music for Pipedream books, and Stamoulis publishing company and I make music for fairies for them.
Everything new is a challenge for me and I am always open to new collaborations and projects. Even when I am not working on a project,I always compose new music and search for new creative musical ideas.
