It was 1992, and one morning at the age of seventeen, I woke up to a voice in my head that would forever change my life. That day, I wanted that voice to be heard around the world, but as restless as I was to quickly call myself a singer, I simply lacked the tools and skills to achieve that. So, for the next eight years, I pursued that inner voice through hard work—what many refer to as the “ten-thousand-hour rule.” By the age of twenty-five, I finally discovered what my voice would be.

​

As you can imagine, it was a euphoric moment—but that was only the beginning. I then spent the following two decades creating, polishing, and mastering my voice, just as I continue to do to this very day.

​

I am the son of two Greek immigrant parents who, shortly after my birth in 1975 in the small northern city of Kastoria, traveled west to America in search of a better life. They provided for me and raised me in a Greek community in New York City called Astoria. Later, as a young adult, I traveled west to Hollywood, California, to pursue my dreams.

​

There, I was met with a few accolades and many disappointments, as Hollywood is a dog-eat-dog melting pot. Regardless, major lessons were learned, as the journey itself proved to be the only true muse. You see, life as a whole is a myriad of ups and downs, and music is no different. It is an audio novel built upon a dichotomy of emotions and circumstances, expressed through various characters within musical themes and passages. So whether it be angelic or diabolic, sane or insane, fortunate or unfortunate—life will always constitute music, and vice versa.
