About Me

I was born in Maroussi/Athens(Greece) on March 13 and was very early infected with the virus of music. I studied classical guitar at the Southeastern College (American College in Athens). At this time I played in various Metal bands and get known in the metal-scene of Athens. In 1994 I moved to Switzerland and studied at the Jazz School of Lucern (Musikhochschule Luzern) graduating with the Master Degree of Music (Musiker MH, Musik Pädagogik Jazz). I performed with different projects and bands all over Switzerland including Montreux Jazz Festival, Jazz Fesival Willisau etc. I am teaching more than 50 students at the Musikschule beider Frenkentäler, Inernational School of Basel and at the Musikschule Laufenthal-Thierstein.Since March 2007 I am the lead guitar-player of the Swiss Heavy Metal band GODIVA.I am also writing music for the musical theater „Syydeband und Bottewaage“ that will be performed next year (www.laienbuehne.ch) and working on a project with the rock-soul singer Chahid Stuber.
