A few words about myself...
From a young age, the sound of the Bouzouki has always amazed me. I used to watch musicians playing this instrument and felt that I wanted to learn and make it a part of my life. The first time I started to play the Bouzouki was at the age of 12, and for the next three years, I was a diligent student learning the instrument.
At the age of 16, I started to play as a professional. Since then, I have been playing the instrument and performing in nightclubs, concerts and functions. I have also travelled to different countries and performed for different audiences and continue to share my passion through performances and teaching.
In the last ten years, I have been teaching the Bouzouki to students of all ages and whoever wishes to learn this instrument.
After more than 30 years of infinite musical journeys, I can say that this instrument is my heart and soul. My love and passion for the Bouzouki and this type of music enables me to share my knowledge and my experience to everyone who appreciates this type of music while I continue to grow as a professional Bouzouki player.
With music, you never stop learning. It is a journey of searching, full of surprises and strong emotions along the way.
