Career

His first discography work was with the group Babylon at the 1997 album, Arhi Epi Telous.[1] His next works were also with the band on Kouarteto ton stihion and Epi telous. He has cooperated with the band Active Member on the album Meres Thavmasies, Paraxenes Meres. He was a partner of the Free Style Productions.

He always wanted to create something of his own that would be his "trademark", a child of his that would have his elements. Stavento was his "child," for which he handles production, writes the lyrics and performs.[1]

In 2014, he became a coach in the reality show of ANT1, The Voice of Greece.[2]
