He played the bouzouki and sang. His introduction to music came from his father, who served as a cantor in the church. He learned to play songs by listening to records and he performed in almost all the traditional festivals in Samos. In parallel, he participated in other musical activities, like at Hatzithanasis’ café in Pagondas. Outside of Samos, his first experience came from his participation in a tour in the Dodecanese.
