I started singing when I was 4 years old, according to my parents. I have been writing songs since I was 13 and have been doing music production since 18.
I was a lead singer/songwriter in a rock group, worked as a music director, dj and program director at AC radio station. Wrote music for several video games, did music for animated characters for one of the iPod applications, wrote music and did music production for radio commercials. Did music production and participated as a vocalist and session BGV vocalist on several known local and international projects. I write songs for artists of completely different styles, vocal abilities and cuteness. Songwriting, music production and recording are my main work right now. Recently I started producing videos as part of the Fokastudio production line in collaboration with my friend and very talented photographer Giannis Svigos. I believe that video + audio is what gives you the ability to share your emotions in depth.
I listen to music in general not to genres. I believe that there’s no bad music, there are bad people involved into making it. I love collaborations, when it is something new, when I can learn something new, or just because I like a person I am working with. I am nerdy and not very social. I’m not into religion, politics or sports. I am excited by different sounds and alliteration in languages. Silence inspires me the most. People that inspire me are my friends and artists that do music that moves me: Ella Fitzerald, Bobby mc Ferrin, Radiohead, Bjork, John Legend, LAMB, Led Zeppelin, SOAD, Skunk Anansie, Nero, Fantasia Barrino , Glenn Miller, Alanis Morissette, Stevie Wonder, Slipknot, Massive Attack… and that is not a full list. One of the reasons I do dubstep is because it can contain so many different music styles and elements and still be dubstep. And for a vinaigrette type of music lover such as me, where I cannot choose something narrow as a genre to commit to, dubstep is a wonderful way to express yourself.
So here is what I am using at the moment for audio production:
Basic production audio tools: Cubase 6.5, Sonic Core Scope 5.1, UAD quad, Wavelab; various plugins from Native instruments, Spectrasonics, Waves, ets.
Hardware: Rode and Audio-Technica mics, Focusrite preamps, Genelec monitors, custom Xeon workstation Fokastudio designed
