Hello! I’m Nikolaos Mertikas, a Greek composer, musician, and sound engineer with over two decades in music creation, production, and teaching. I run a home studio, Mertikas Music, in Corinth and have composed scores for amateur theatre, performed as a musician at various venues, and taught guitar and music theory to students of different ages. I hold formal training in music technology, harmony, and counterpoint, and I continually expand my craft through seminars on film music, orchestration, and sound design. I’m passionate about cinematic music production, orchestration, and collaboration with performers and educators. I’m fluent in English with basic knowledge of Spanish, and I’m always open to new creative projects and opportunities to mentor others and bring stories to life through sound.
