back in business (and ain't it grand)

About Me

..ok ok ... guess it's time 2 say sth about the artist...
ehh, you know... me.
at last.
26yo...
been a child-prodigy... top student... music lessons... ballet.. still at university (so much for the prodigy).. architecture...
reading lots of books all the time.. no no, i really mean ALL THE TIME... (Bill Hicks: "..but then again..I'm a reader")
...singing at various clubs and shows since i was 19yo... still prefer the jazz.. the musicals...
good at drawing, 3d modelling and computer animation, video editing , plumming, changing myspace templates and changing the lightbulbs
... would love to learn tap dancing... neighbours downstairs would disagree...
extremely shy person...
not yet found the kind of music i'm into... people say i could sing almost anything... neighbours downstairs would now strongly disagree
.. love writing... not song-writing, just plain-old writing... you see.. when i'm not reading, i write.. no, no, not taking notes of what i read... but may also do that too...
love watching stand-up comedy...
for such a shy person, it's really odd that i love being on stage... but i hate crowded places.. one could say i hate crowded places UNLESS the crowd's here to watch me on stage!! lol
UPDATE:
-...as you may have noticed, I've already started uploading a series of "cover of the week" songs, some recorded at home, with the aid (or misfortune) of an almost dead mic and souncard, and some recorded at other people's houses (don't worry, I usually warn before I do this), like for instance the living room of my good friend Euripidis Zemenidis, who plays the quitar in "cover of the week 3" and "4".
These are just for fun. If you want to hear or see anything more serious (or at least mixed, edited or in any way beautified), then you really shouldn't come and watch me perform live (or should you??).
and... any requests for the next covers will be more than welcome!!
-and "for the record" (yap! this still makes me laugh), you can hear me in the song Aformes in Panos Mouzourakis' album Madepse poios.
Visit Lio's profile (Lio recorded the grooviest drums for this album) to hear the song. Enjoy!
