About Me

Ever since I can remember, I sang almost anything I could get my hands on. Been working as a freelancer since the age of 18, in live music bars-clubs and theaters in Athens, as well as Nafplio, Argos, Nemea, Mykines and Preveza.I love almost any kind of music I come across, and had been lucky enough to have had the chance to sing almost everything, excluding pop greek music, and reaaaally heavy metal stuff. I like experimenting on new things, and transforming my voice and playing, since evolution comes through exploration! I love collaborating with different people, as I am more creative when I work with others.I've studied for years and years, musicology (BA in Music and AsB in Business at the American College of Greece, Deree College), piano (Diploma, 1st prize), classical singing (Diploma, 1st prize), and advanced theoretical ... stuff, so that I be able to support myself by being a music teacher. Been doing ok so far! I am currently the modern music department's supervisor and piano, vocals, and theory teacher at Ars Nova Consevatory, Athens, and a modern vocals teacher at Odeio Anagenisi, Aigalew, and Odeio Opera.I've had the luxury to have been invited to both the US and the UK to sing (Berkeley University, California & London Music School, London), and to have met really inspired people to work with (Influence, Robin Skouteris, Neverland, Jettison Flight...) and look forward to meeting more!
