Biography...

The Greekviolinist has played the Violin for over 30 years and trained classically to progress as a first violin leader of a Secondary Orchestra by the age of 11.

Alongside his passion of classical music, his Greek heritage has influenced his desire to perfect the traditional music and songs of Cyprus and Greece.

During his teenage years, he learned to play the mandolin and the bouzouki. These stringed instruments helped him to play the traditional songs that give him his musical personality to his Greek playing. Jamming along in his bedroom playing back countless cassettes and learning passages of music until it was perfected showed a keen determination.

Although he wasn't aware of it at the time, this would lead to the transition as a Greek violinist and he would go on to perform the traditional Greek songs of Cyprus and Greece.

His first live performance came at the age of 13 where he was asked by his Orthodox community to play some Greek music at a dinner and dance.

Over the years, the Greekviolinist has played across the country at some very prestigious venues for weddings, christenings and other special occasions. Traditionally at a Greek Wedding, the ‘money dance’ is played by a violinist and is very much a pre-requisite.
