Sounds Like: I am a musician based in Athens Greece.I studied Classical percussion at Salford University in the UK(mostly Vibraphone and Marimba).I also play drums,steel drums,and hand percussion.I listen and love all kinds of good music. I have played with various Greek artists over the years,and I am a member of the groups"Synnefa Me Pantelonia" and "Migma". I was a founding member and composed most of the music for the band Faltsa Mousa,a jazz band with Greek influences and loud rock sound. I enjoy everything that has to do with music,from composing and performing,to learning and teaching. The Charouhi Quartet is 4 friends,Dimitris,Dianna,Panos,and myself doing very few rehearsals (the jazz way or the highway!)and going in the studio in order to make a demo of some of my compositions. Do not hesitate to contact me for any matter!I would be happy to hear from you:))
