In 1950, he came to live in Athens with his parents, where he completed his studies in Byzantine music at the Hellenic Conservatory with teacher Theodoros Hadjitheodorou.

In 1953, folklore scientist Polydoros Papachristodoulou offered for him to participate in his radio show entitled Echoes from Thrace, which presented music from his homeland.

He participated in hundreds of musical events in Greece and abroad, in places such as the Americas, Australia, the former Soviet Union, and Europe.

One step of his artistic journey was his collaboration with the Greek singer George Dalaras for the release of the CD Nightingales from the Orient in March 1990.

In 2006, he participated in the 6th Festival of Sacred Music in Patmos, along with Karantzi and the ecclesiastical Byzantine choir, Glorifier (led by Dimitris Verykios).
