My music will take you to another world...

About Me

Basic Background
I was born in New Jersey, USA, and when I was eight, my family moved to Greece in the island of Crete. After having spent nine years there, I moved back to the United States and attended Rutgers University to study Computer Science.
As a living, I own a consulting firm that does computer consulting for Wall Street companies. Not very much related with trance music, right? I've also founded the following dot-coms: WallStreetITJobs.com and JavaShareware.com.
In addtion, I've done some party productions in New York City. My largest production was VisualDancing . This was a big party with lasers/visuals in Manhattan at the Altman Building which I brought DJs from Europe, such as Accuface. It was pretty spectacular...
My Music Path
Music has always been my passion. I started listening to Trance and Techno from the very early days. My main influence has been Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Accuface, Darude, Robert Miles, Above and Beyond, Dito, Wizzy Noise and others... Behind each song there is an inspiration, and I hope to inspire or touch others with it. When I create music, I give it my all. Sometimes a song can take up to five months to complete. I strive to get better and better and ultimately reach perfection. Being able to positively affect people with my music is the best reward I can ask for. So far the response has been amazing here in the Internet.
Working with Legendary Trance Singers
Kirsty Hawkshaw and Jan Johnston

I have been very fortunate and it's a great honor to be working with legendary singers Kirsty Hawkshaw and Jan Johnoston on a few songs. I did Invisible Walls with both Kirsty Hawshaw and Jan Johnston. In addition, Dawn was done with Kirsty Hawkshaw, and Angel of Light was done with Jan Johnston which will soon be released. All songs will be in my coming album.
My Album
Once I complete more songs, I will produce and promote my own CD album and have a CD Launch party in New York City. The album will have music that I worked with Kirsty Hawkshaw and Jan Johnston. Currently, I'm preparing the "Invisible Walls" single which will come out before the album.
Having said all this, my music will take you to another world, so feel free to be my fan and friend. You won't regret it. ;-) If you like my productions, spread the word about my music to your friends! I would greatly appreciate that... So if you'd like to know more about me, feel free to visit my FAQ section in my blog...
Where to get my Music
As of now, my self produced CD is not yet released. It should be ready sometime this year. You can listen to my music by visiting my profile for now. In addition, I have more music in the pipeline that has not been released to the public and you'll be hearing them soon. :-)
