Dna is an award-winning music duo consisting of composers and producers Alexandros Christaras and Michalis Nivolianitis. Since their formation in 1996, Dna has been dedicated to composing and producing original music for film, television, and theater, establishing themselves as one of the first Greek “music production houses” specializing in music and sound for audiovisual media. Since 1998, they have signed more than 1,200 advertising campaigns in Greece and abroad.
In 2000, they founded the production studio Dna Lab, and in 2003, they established Dna Label, an independent record company with worldwide distribution.
The duo has long-standing collaborations with director Vasilis Mazomenos in films such as The Crisis Trilogy (including the recent 2021 film Purgatory), as well as with Vasilis Tselemegkos in television series such as Epifaneia, Xexase Me, Dromos, Ichni, Exapsi, and more.
In theater, they have developed a strong and long-term collaboration with director Frosso Litra. Their partnership began with Giraudoux’s The Enchanted at the Kalamata Regional Theatre (DIPETHE). This season, they have successfully collaborated on the sold-out play M.A.I.R.O.U.L.A. at Mikro Horn Theatre in Athens, as well as Pire ti zoi tis sta heria tis at the National Theatre of Northern Greece (KTHBE) in Thessaloniki.
Their compositions have been awarded and nominated at both Greek and international film and theater festivals, while their works have been released by Sony Music, Universal, EMI, and Dna Label.
