Latest News: I recently released my single “And I Feel…” on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major music platforms. It’s about the nostalgia of childhood and becoming the person you were meant to be. I am also currently working on recording my song “The Wizard“, hopefully it will be released before the end of the year.
Hi Costis, welcome to VQS! Take us back in time to how you first fell in love with music.
I was just 13… I started having a fascination for rock music, so I was inspired to buy a guitar. I had no previous musical training, and when I bought the cheapest classical guitar I could find, all I wanted was to start playing songs on it. The first revelation came when I realized I could play on the guitar whatever I listened to, initially by just playing the tunes on one string. Then, it was all about discovering the instrument, and becoming better and better. To this day, I am still self-taught. The second revelation came shortly after, when I purchased my first CD: Nirvana’s Nevermind album. So one day, when I was home alone, I played the CD over and over, and while singing to the lyrics, I realized I could hit some of the vocals pretty well. And the rest is history, as they say. I started composing a few years later, and started performing and recording ever since.
