│║ ║ │
│║ I started playing keyboards when I was 10 years ║ │
│║ old and only 4 years later (1992) I bought my ║ │
│║ first guitar which seemed to excite me much ║ │
│║ more, as the only thing I was playing in the ║ │
│║ keyboards till then was the crap they used to ║ │
│║ teach me in the conservatory.Of course I was ║ │
│║ only 14 years old then and I had no musical ║ │
│║ preferences or anything like this. But this ║ │
│║ until the last days of 1994 when I first came in ║ │
│║ touch with the music of Dream Theater and other ║ │
│║ keyboard oriented bands.Soon I noticed some ║ │
│║ keyboard players like Kevin Moore, Jens ║ │
│║ Johansson and the mighty Keith Emerson the sound ║ │
│║ of whose has influenced drastically my way of ║ │
│║ approaching the keyboards.The most important ║ │
│║ thing, though was that I soon developed good ║ │
│║ improvising ability which was the only thing ║ │
│║ which opened doors in finding more bands to play ║ │
│║ with as a session member apart from my standard ║ │
│║ band which has been up till then SKYWARD later ║ │
│║ renamed to RETROSPECT. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Being one of the few keyboard players in my ║ │
│║ country,Greece that are really into metal sound ║ │
│║ gave me the comfort to choose between offers ║ │
│║ that interested me or not. As a result was the ║ │
│║ ROCK OF GODS 1996(first ever open air festival ║ │
│║ in Greece!) where I played for FATAL MORGANA who ║ │
│║ were the opening act for Slayer,Saxon Blind ║ │
│║ Guardian and Rage,or the supporting act of ║ │
│║ KREATOR (Jan 1998) where I played with techno- ║ │
│║ thrash progsters ACID DEATH. Then was the ║ │
│║ live-on-the-air appearance of TIDAL FLOOD ║ │
│║ (instrumental prog-psych rock ala Ozric ║ │
│║ Tentacles) in the Jammin┤ live show on Greek ║ │
│║ ET3 channel and the recording of the keyboards ║ │
│║ in power metaller┤s CASUS BELLI debut CD that ║ │
│║ released from Greek Sound And Vision Records. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In the meanwhile I got a diploma in classic ║ │
│║ organ (based on suites and fuges by J.S. Bach as ║ │
│║ well as modern jazz pieces for pedal double ║ │
│║ scale organ), theory, classical harmony and ║ │
│║ history of music, things that basically helped ║ │
│║ me more to learn how to study and analyze a ║ │
│║ musical piece rather than playing fast or ║ │
│║ improvising. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Right after this, I had to join the army which ║ │
│║ took me 1.5 year of doing almost nothing music- ║ │
│║ wise but the best was yet to come! After ║ │
│║ finishing my military duty I joined NTX (Nipto ║ │
│║ Tas Heiras) a crossover hip-hop nu metal band ║ │
│║ that already had released a very interesting ║ │
│║ debut cd which was advertised by TV and had good ║ │
│║ airplay. I made some live gigs with these guys ║ │
│║ that helped me a lot in developing a more steady ║ │
│║ and mature playing especially on stage. For a ║ │
│║ while it seemed like I was losing my heavy metal ║ │
│║ identity and then, was the call from Efthimis ║ │
│║ Karadimas the lead singer of NIGHTFALL who was ║ │
│║ inviting me to join this famous band and play ║ │
│║ live in one of the biggest heavy metal festivals ║ │
│║ of the world: WACKEN OPEN AIR 2001! As soon as I ║ │
│║ got back from Germany, I started working on my ║ │
│║ first solo work while I was playing with power ║ │
│║ metallers CASUS BELLI which also was a great ║ │
│║ experience because the level of the musicianship ║ │
│║ of the members was very high and our gigs were ║ │
│║ apart of a true metal experience a very good ║ │
│║ show-off, too. At one of that gigs I was seen by ║ │
│║ Sakis from Rotting Christ who spoke with the ║ │
│║ guys from SEPTIC FLESH and by the end of summer ║ │
│║ 2001 I joined them and started a series of very ║ │
│║ hard working rehersals in order to start touring ║ │
│║ Greece and Europe for the promotion of their ║ │
│║ latest release Sumerian Daemons. Meanwhile, my ║ │
│║ debut cd Turn Of My Century was released from ║ │
│║ Finnish prog label LION music and started taking ║ │
│║ amazing reviews from all the world which, along ║ │
│║ with the numerous gigs with Septic Flesh, helped ║ │
│║ me to grow my reputation within the metal fans. ║ │
│║ Later, I also did some session recordings for ║ │
│║ STARQUEEN (FIN) and Greek epic metallers ║ │
│║ BATTLEROAR, I released the forgotten recordings ║ │
│║ of my power metal project IMAGINERY (initially ║ │
│║ named MIRAGE back in 1996) and I also recorded ║ │
│║ all keyboards for NIGHTFALLs latest release I Am ║ │
│║ Jesus for Black Lotus Records. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ At the time being,and after the split-up of ║ │
│║ SEPTIC FLESH, Im a standard member of ║ │
│║ NIGHTFALL,working on our new cd and DVD as well ║ │
│║ (I also run a video-clip making company named ║ │
│║ Progressive Vision Group) , played some guest ║ │
│║ keyboard solos on the 2nd cd of MAGIC KINGDOM ║ │
│║ (soon to be released through LMP)and I got this ║ │
│║ great invitation by mr Gus G. for joining ║ │
│║ FIREWIND on their Japanese and European tour. My ║ │
│║ second solo cd Imaginary Force is finished with ║ │
│║ a release date around April and I also record ║ │
│║ the 2nd cd of IMAGINERY play modern power metal ║ │
│║ with Swedish Bjorn Jansson singing in the vein ║ │
│║ of J.S Soto and Jorn Lande and ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!! ║ │
