About Me

I live in London, working as a producer/ video editor for a TV production co.Started studying music and painting before I went to school.. Piano, ballet…and later on classical singing.. Went abroad to study at 18, looking for ways of expression that would combine different art forms (moving image, sound, performance, installation...use of unconventional spaces ..)Did a BA in Time Based Media and later on an MA in Performance and Cultural Studies..Big influences in life: Stereo Nova's sounds, Omada Edafous' dance shows, Jungle then DnB. The sunsents from my room in Thessaloniki and that old old microphone. Hatzidakis, D. Galani and Nina Simone's voice, the feeling of being at home! Mum, Dad..Neil and all those inspirational people I meet at random points in life..!Now I’m at that point..trying to clarify what I want in life..and things I need to overcome to get to where I want. (i'll probably always be at a similar, hopefuly not static, point)I’m not easily impressed by things or people. I do see that some things are meant to be. I day dream a lot and since I joined my last gym...I'm close to becoming obsessed with training and well being!
The Hobbies Are: Banner making, filming/ editing:
