What is your parents profession? Can you describe the environment in
which you grew up?
My
mother is a travel agent and my father is a computer programmer who
later became a farmer. I grew up with my mother and sister around the
southern suburbs of Athens.Very close to the sea, so that I could
always get the big picture just by looking at the waves. I went to a
public school, and every Sunday we would gather at my classmate’s
house and watch all episodes of Nightmare On Elm Str in a row.
I
was also a boyscout. I guess I still am since one is always put under
the oath.

Had you ever wished that you had invented something massive like the
blue jeans?

Has your music influenced your parents?
No,
I don’t think so .

Where do you like to usually walk your dog?

take Daria almost everywhere I go if it’s in a walking distance.

there.

What book(s) are you currently reading?
I
am re-visiting Brian Michael Bendis’ “POWERS” series, just

Why do you thank Kariofyllia Karambeti in the credits section of your
new album Feathers as KU?
Because
she taught me that everyone should get paid for their work, and
proved it in action and on her own private expense. Plus she gave me
some more great piece of advice.
06:
Tell us about your new album.
My
new album was released on 12’’ + free CD via Inner Ear Records on
the 26th of March. The name is Feathers and it consists of 9 songs.
The duration is almost 38 minutes. The music and lyrics are mine
except where specified on the liner notes. It was recorded on the
summer of 2012. It was produced by Prins Obi. My wife is on the
cover.

Would you ever decide to go on an island where all your desires could
be fulfilled with the risk that you might never ever be able to
return?
Why
would I want to leave in the first place if I knew I would want to

My
father left for an island and he never returned to the city. I envy
him.

possible ways.
