Born and raised in Greece in 1996, Vasilis began his musical journey at the age of 8, when his fingers first graced the keys of a classical piano. This early connection led to a degree in classical piano and music harmony, forming the foundation of his artistic path. As he delved into jazz theory, harmony, and piano, Vasilis found a unique way to merge the timeless beauty of classical music with the cutting-edge rhythms of electronic beats.
Today, Vasilis is known not only for his productions but also for his captivating live DJ sets, where he blends synths and piano in real-time, creating immersive performances that fuse the best of analog and digital worlds. His live sets are a sonic journey, seamlessly blending, Afro House, and Afro Tech with the rich textures of live instrumentation.
His music has resonated in esteemed venues around the globe, from the Great Music Hall of Greece to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, and at international festivals such as the International Festival of Choirs and Orchestras in Tuscany, Italy. His sound—where rhythm- driven beats meet emotive, piano-led melodies—finds its way to global dancefloors, evoking powerful, groove-infused experiences.
Vasilis recently released his EP “Love Is” under Universal Music France. He has collaborated with renowned DJs and producers such as Liva K, Valeron, Da Africa Deep, and AUGUSTE, with his work gaining support from icons like Black Coffee, Guy Gerber, Themba, and Karyendasoul.
