Film Score Composer
WHAT DRIVES ME
Every great story
deserves a powerful soundtrack
I’m a Greek composer and sound designer whose versatile musical style blends orchestral textures, rock energy, and rich Balkan traditions. My musical journey began at the age of five on the piano, leading me to a specialized music school where I developed a deep foundation in classical European music alongside Greek traditional and Byzantine music. Constantly expanding my sonic palette, I also trained in saxophone, drums, and electric bass.
After earning my Bachelor’s degree in Music from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, I completed a Master’s degree in Film and Game Scoring at the Film Scoring Academy of Europe, where I was mentored by industry legends such as Andy Hill, Jack Wall, and Norman Ludwin.
My international scoring credits include the French short Part Être, the Swedish film Så skimrande var aldrig havet, and the Greek short Bloom, an official selection at the 2026 Drama Short Film Festival. Expanding into interactive media, I also serve as composer and sound designer for the video game Viridis: Seeds of Time by Grey Guard Games.

What i do
Music That Carries the Story
ORCHESTRAL, ELECTRIC, BALKAN
Film scoring is listening before it is writing. I spend the first days with a picture in silence, working out what it already wants to say and where sound can carry it further. What comes out draws on everything I’ve trained in the orchestra, the rock band, the modes and rhythms I grew up hearing in Greek traditional and Byzantine music. Recent work spans the French short Part Être, the Swedish feature Så skimrande var aldrig havet, the Greek short Bloom, and the game Viridis: Seeds of Time.
Formally, I'm a composer and sound designer trained at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and the Film Scoring Academy of Europe. Practically, I'm someone who has been chasing the same sound since I was five: orchestral weight, rock urgency, and the Balkan and Byzantine music I grew up inside. I score short films, features, and games, and I'm interested in every project that needs music to do more than sit behind the picture.
From my first piano lessons at five, music was never something I chose so much as something I followed. Today I write for film and games from that same crowded, restless place: Οrchestral textures where you least expect them. Every score is a different question, and I’ve never wanted an easy answer.
