My name is Nikos Petros Koulouris and I am of Greek (cretan) origin. Since my childhood I was interested in music. My father very often listened to traditional Greek music which later on brought me to feel this music as my natural. I started playing saxophone at the age of 15 and have been playing until now in many different groups. For 6 years I have been playing as a member of one from the biggest Czech pop groups called KRYSTOF , which has got tens of serious musical awards. I'm very proud of this group and consider it to be my main interest. Despite this nice and really interesting group I also play different styles (traditional Greek music) + sessions with Dj Forest that brought me to completely different field of music - experimental. During last 7 years I have been seriously interested in Greek traditions. I started to dance traditional dances and became a member of the world Greek association Lyceum of Greek Women (Lykion Ton Ellinidon) which has been trying to preserve old Greek traditions. Despite this fact I also started to play for the dancers as a clarinetist. Last 2 years I have dedicated to compose and arrange my own songs that are deeply influenced by Greek traditions. These songs bear traces of the old Hellenic culture - the name of this group is NISOS and you can find videos and somer recordings on this page. Just recently I've been cooperationg with great guitar player Dimitris Neonakis who is great composer with the big sence of melody and harmony.For booking please contact me at [email protected]
