In the summer of 1996, he presented his first radio show at a local radio station, possibly the first radio broadcasting house and dance music in his city. During the radio show days, he started attending piano lessons for 2 years and after that he keept on alone.
The radio show, moved in more local radio stations and in the spring of 2000, he desided to name his project "Consoul Trainin " which means : “The feeling that brings you music stereo and console in your soul". He started mixing tracks, sharing the mixes with local djs.
In the year 2001, he decided to create his first track and this was “Annaâ€, a track that was released 5 years later by "The sound of everything" label. More ideas concerning tracks come up, and get low level production in the start, but passion and further studying in music made him improve his sounds.
During 2000 he moved in city of Ioannina (with Stauros (aka Esbi) Billios with worked with john in promotion the project). Ioannina is a bigger city where john studing physics. John loved physics and he tried to put it together with music. He started playing like a dj in a local clubs like a guest dj and afterwards like a resident @ Island Bar (Ioannina) and Au Bar (Ioannina) with Stauro “Esbi†Billios.
At the same time, he started working at a radio station, “Top 97.2" (undoubtably the most popular radio station in Ioannina), as a music supervisor and advertisement spot producer . "Top 97.2" will be always in his heart because there he found friends and people that helped him, believed in him and promoted him like never before.
2005! This was the year that the releases come up. The first release appears at "Mybit records", the personal label of Konstantine Samson (The songwriter of Mystic flight), with his first cd single, including the "club vocal mix" by "Consoul Trainin".
In the the year of 2006, "The sound Of Evertything" label released two “Consoul Trainin†tracks, included in the “Hellectronic 01†compilation. John gets to know more people involved in sound production and shares his music with them. “Anna†and “Mystic Flight†get full support from many djs and radio stations, both tunes become dancefloor hits in many parties in Greece.
His radio show now has a new and improved style! It becomes a 4 hours mix, presenting new releases and interviews from up-and-coming or already famous producers and djs from Greece and abroad (Agent Greg, Kevin Sunray, Mark Knight, Tom Novy, Sander Kleinenberg, King Roc, Helen K, Samson K, Joachim Garraud etc.). His radio show also appeared in many web radios (Danceradio.gr, ssradiouk, pireteradio and more).
One year later in the summer of 2007, Planetworks Records released one more track by "Consoul Trainin", included in “Lak Sound & Show 3†compilation (Lakis Gavalas & Kostas Zikos), called “Stopâ€, a remix of the classic track by Sam Brown, this time with the vocals of Ioanna Kolovaki (aka Joan Kolova).
