After playing with several bands, in 1994 he joined the band Maskes, which turned out to be one of the bands that formed the so-called indie rock scene of Thessaloniki.

Since 1997 he has carried out orchestration and production for studio recordings and live concerts working with many of the industry's big names. He also appears as a String Section arranger, a sound engineer, and a programmer.
