Michael Sopolidis

I started playing drums at the age of 9. Initially with the support of my former music teacher, I soon made remarkable progress by myself. Only a few weeks later I was asked to join the schools band, in which my brother played the keyboards. Since then I played the drums in quite a few bands and projects. When 5 years later the band of my junior high school was looking for a bass player I decided to fill this gap. To be able to write and record my own songs, I have bought a guitar and started to engage in home recording - especially on the computer - when I was 18. Since my brother is a keyboard player, there has always been a keyboard around in our house, so I could acquire some basic skills on that instrument, too. At last I was able to realize my ideas without having to depend on other musicians. Singing more and more background vocals in my cover band, where I play the drums, I started to learn more about singing and it's techniques. All these experiences flow into my bands and, of course, my own music. I often provide my skills as a drummer, bass player, synth programmer, singer, recording engineer, producer or song writer to other musicians.
