Ioanni born in Thessaloniki (Salonika) of Macedonia of Greece and he had formal training in classical music (cello and music theory) in "Macedoniko Odio" Conservatoire at Tsimiski street of Thessaloniki.
He had built his first home studio back in 1988. Shortly after, he received a Bachelor in Music from the University of London.
Ioanni has released a couple of records back in the early 90s under his name. In 1992 he released his first CD “Ioanni – Vital Space†in his new personal label Ambrosia Records and the following year his second CD “Ioanni – Ethernalâ€. Both CDs were in an ambient / new age style.
"Vital Space" is an esoteric, sonic self discovery that it drowns you into dark soundscapes.
"Ethernal", on the other hand, is outgoing, with down tempos and grooves and travels into soundscapes that are blindly lite but still has it's shaded moments.
Since then he writes music in all sorts of musical styles. So it was a natural progression to differentiate those styles into different projects. Those projects are focusing into different musical styles. He is also open to new ideas and collaborations. In 1998 he created a second label, Minus Sounds , to materialize those dance oriented musical projects.
Those projects are:
Intercity 303 (trance)

DJ Dual (techno/house, DJing and remixes)

Indochina Express (drum & bass)
