GIANNIS HAROULIS

SINGER, SONGWRITER, LUTE PLAYER

Giannis Haroulis is a singer, musician and songwriter who has used his talent, authenticity and immediacy to make his mark on the art, rock and traditional music scenes. He was born and raised in Crete in the village of Ekso Lakonia in Agios Nikolaos. The song "Ksasteria" and the first notes on the mandolin were the trigger for being introduced to the world of music at the age of 8 under the guidance of his father (sculptor, painter and self-taught lyricist) and creating his first musical sounds . From then on, music became his breath!

A little later he owned his first lute and began to study traditional Cretan music. Christos Thivaios is the one who was impressed by his talent. In July 2002, Giannis made his debut at the Lycabettus Theater in a concert dedicated to the unforgettable Nikos Xylouris. In his unique way and with his immeasurable passion he enchanted the audience of Athens with the songs "Oi ponoi tis Panayas" and "Kosme Chryse"!

At the core of his live performances is still direct contact with the audience, a relationship that has lasted for years and is based on the very meaning of camaraderie, that of celebrating absolute community!
