Hello to all my wonderful fans and friends all over the world!

Tonight, I want to share with you some exciting news. The 2nd Meeting of Music and Poetry took place in Greece last night. Many composers, poets, lyricists, professors, and people of different nationalities attended the Meeting.

At the end of the Meeting the Awards Ceremony for the winners of the 7th International Music Composition Contest took place. I won 1st Prize for my New Earth album and 2nd Prize for my original music composition Elohim!

I would like to publicly thank the chairman of the International Art Society Mr. Yorgos Foudoulis, who is also the director of the Examination Center of the Trinity College and the Conservatory bearing his name. I also wish to thank Elias, the sound engineer, for his professional approach to the music event.

A special thanks goes out to everyone who attended the Meeting and the Awards Ceremony. I received very positive feedback from the audience before, during, and after my live performance. People of all ages congratulated me and told me that my composition Elohim is very powerful and comes from another world.

The New Earth album was officially released on 09.09.09, and the award winning composition Elohim is included in the album.

Hello to all my friends and fans worldwide!

Two years have passed since I first created my MySpace Page. A lot of beautiful and amazing things have happened during these two years.

I've met nearly 75.000 people who come from 192 countries and semiautonomous territories! This is a really huge number of people and countries. Fans, friends, newspaper editors, magazine editors, dj’s, radio producers, artists, we are all one huge family. Tens of thousands of e-mails, public comments and private messages have been exchanged during the last two years. Fans and friends have been listening to my music very often and told their friends to add me on MySpace and listen to my music too. Newspaper and magazine editors published articles about me and my music. Dj’s and artists remixed some of my tracks. Radio producers began to play my music on their radio stations all over the world.

I'd like to thank you all from the bottoms of my heart for helping me spread the word. A special thanks goes out to all of you for downloading my MP3s, and buying my CDs. It really means a lot to me.

I thank each and everyone of you for all your love and support the past two years, and I look forward to many more years with you.

Many artists from all over the world take part in the UKSC every year. In Europe more songwriters enter the UKSC than the Eurovision Song Contest! This year almost 6.000 entries were submitted to the UKSC.

I just wanted to give you a quick update on what is happening in my music land!

As you might know, I have been busy writing new material for my next album. I have just put the finishing touches to all tracks. The album title is New Earth. It features ten new tracks of superb electronic instrumental music.

The album will be officially released on 9 September 2009 by Logos Music, the same label that released my previous album. I am very happy with the result and I am looking forward to hearing what you think.

In the meantime, I will be back in gig mode in mid September when I will be showcasing the new music compositions live.

Take good care of yourselves and stay tuned for further updates!

Hello to all my wonderful friends and fans around the world!

A lot of people have been asking me lately if there will be a new album. So I decided to shed some light on my upcoming second album.

I have already composed, orchestrated, and mixed 10 brand new pieces of electronic music and now I am in the mastering procedure. The music production is really impressive and the 16 page CD booklet is totally magnificent. The album title and the exact release date will be revealed soon.

A special thanks to all those precious people who have given €10 to buy my first album, thus giving me the funds I need to release my second album.

As far as my second album is concerned, I would like to promise you something. Get ready to experience electronic music like never before!

Hello everyone all over the world!

With this blog post I would like to inform you about a change that took place this morning. I reworked the look of my website so that it is easier to navigate, easier to read and overall much easier on the eyes. It was a very hard task and took me long enough, but I think the result is beautiful. What do you say? I look forward to your feedback.

As always, those of you who use widescreen monitors and Mozilla Firefox as your web browser will enjoy the new outfit the most.
