Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

One of the most memorable gigs I’ve done was at Ithaki Restaurant, a luxury venue by the sea in Athens.
The atmosphere, the refined clientele, and the sunset view combined perfectly with live piano music.

I performed a mix of romantic ballads, cinematic themes, and soft classical repertoire that created a deeply emotional connection with the guests.
It was a night where music truly elevated the experience — and I still carry that feeling with me every time I perform.


What's your favourite type of event?

My favourite type of event is one where music is meant to create atmosphere and emotion — whether that’s an elegant dinner, a romantic wedding, or an intimate lounge setting.

I particularly enjoy events where the piano becomes part of the experience — not overpowering, but present — guiding the mood and touching people quietly.

It’s in those moments, where guests smile, relax, or even tear up subtly, that I feel the real magic of live music.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started playing the piano at a young age and eventually earned my Piano Diploma, officially recognized by the Greek state.

Over the years, I developed a deep love for cinematic, classical, and melodic music — and gradually built a large repertoire of over 10,000 songs, including classic rock ballads, romantic themes, film scores, and jazz standards.

I began gigging in luxury restaurants and venues such as Ithaki Restaurant in Athens, where I was regularly booked to create a refined and emotional atmosphere for dinner guests.

From there, I continued performing in private events, elegant dinners, and lounges — always focusing on bringing warmth, emotion, and storytelling through the piano.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I’ve been deeply influenced by composers like Ennio Morricone, John Williams, and Thomas Bergersen — artists who know how to tell stories through pure instrumental emotion.

From the classical side, Chopin and Debussy shaped my sensitivity and expression, while artists like Elton John and Queen helped me understand the power of melody and stage presence.

If I had to choose one favorite artist, it would be Ludovico Einaudi — his simplicity, atmosphere, and emotional depth resonate deeply with me.

And the greatest song of all time? For me, it’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen — a masterpiece of emotion, structure, and creativity that still gives me chills every time I hear it.


Do you offer themed sets (e.g. cinematic, romantic, classical)?

Yes. I can structure my performance around a specific theme — such as cinematic soundtracks, classical serenity, romantic ballads, or vintage pop — depending on the mood the client wants to create.


Do you also compose original music?

Yes, I compose original cinematic music — inspired by films, emotions, and storytelling through sound.
My compositions are atmospheric and emotional, often used for short films, personal projects, or reflective events.

If a client wants something truly unique, I can even compose a custom piece for the occasion.


Do you take special requests in advance?

Yes. I’m happy to prepare and include specific songs or themes requested by the client, as long as I receive them a few days before the event. Personal touches make a performance truly unique.


Can you perform instrumental-only background music for elegant events?

Absolutely. I specialize in instrumental solo piano music that creates a refined, emotional, and cinematic atmosphere. Perfect for dinners, lounges, receptions, or any moment that needs elegance without overwhelming the guests.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Since I perform on the piano provided by the venue, my setup time is very minimal — usually just a few minutes to get comfortable and do a short sound check if needed.

My typical performance duration is flexible depending on the event:

Standard set: 2 hours with a short break

Extended set: 3 hours (2 x 75 minutes or 3 x 60 minutes)

I can adapt timing to suit the schedule of the venue or organizer.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, I’m happy to perform outdoors, as long as the piano is provided and weather conditions are appropriate.

Since I don’t currently travel with my own keyboard, a tuned upright or digital piano on-site is required.

It’s also important that the piano is placed in a dry, shaded or protected area to avoid damage and ensure performance quality.

I love performing in open-air settings — they often create a magical connection between the music and the environment.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I have a very large and diverse repertoire — from classical and cinematic themes to romantic ballads, jazz standards, and well-known pop/rock melodies.

Clients are more than welcome to suggest specific songs, genres, or a general mood they’d like for the event.

I’m always happy to adapt the setlist to suit the atmosphere and personal preferences, as long as requests are shared in advance.

My goal is always to enhance the experience with music that resonates with the moment.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients often describe my performances as emotional, atmospheric, and elegant.

They say the music adds a special warmth to the room, creating a sense of calm, connection, and even nostalgia.

I’ve often been told that my piano playing feels cinematic — like a soundtrack unfolding quietly in the background, elevating the entire experience without overpowering it.

Many guests have approached me after performances to say that certain melodies brought back memories or deeply moved them — and that’s the greatest compliment I can receive.
