After completing my Master’s Degree in the US and returning to Greece in 1992, I have been actively involved in performing, composing, and recording while also promoting the art of Jazz Improvisation through teaching at various institutions such as Conservatories, The University of Macedonia (UOM), and The University of Athens (UOA). I have performed as a leader in both the Athens and Thessaloniki Megarons, the Onassis Cultural Center, and in many festivals, collaborating with Greek and International Artists. From 2001 to 2011, I have owned and run my own music school. I have released 8 albums, both as a leader or co-leader. I have co-authored and activelytaughtthrough the UOA online platform, theonline course“Jazz at the age of Information”. I am currently in the jazz faculty at the UOA Music Department and preparing to record newly composed music with the hope of inspiring the younger generation.
