About Me

The full sketch in four words, in order of preference------

Songwriter, composer, producer, musician.

Dividing time between bands and solo work. A founding member of Tripwire , Freedom Of Speech , the video art duo The Normal People (along with Ursula ) as well as the now defunct Stin Orygi Tou Anemou.

Credits include music for the theatre (some of which include two plays directed by Panagiotis Kapodistrias, music for A Lie of the Mind, the first Sam Shepard play to be staged in Greece, directed by Tasos Mpantis in 2004, Ioanna Karystiani's Jack and Dario Fo's Archangels Don't Play Pinball), as well as music for short films and video art.
