Michalis started his career in Cyprus with three records that all went platinum: "Senario", "O Mihalis Hatzigiannis Tragouda Doro Georgiadi" and "Epafi".

The album contained songs to the ANT1 TV series bearing the same title, including the hit singles "Aggigma Psychis" and "To Soma pou Zitas" (The body you seek).

In March 2000, Hatzigiannis released his debut album in Greece "Paraxeni Giorti" (Odd Celebration).

The song "Mono Sta Onira" (Only in Dreams) stayed at the top of the Greek radio charts for several weeks.

Two other songs from the album, title track "Paraxeni Giorti" and "Ke Tha Hatho" had similar success.

On 30 April 2004, he represented Cyprus at the official EU enlargement ceremony which took place in Warsaw to mark the accession of ten new countries into the European Union.

In March 2006 he released his first live album taken from the recorded concerts in Lycabettus with three new songs "De Fevgo" (I'm not leaving), "Den Eimai Edo Gia Kanena" (I'm not here for anyone) and "Miazoume" (We're alike), all becoming hits.

In December 2006 he released his fourth studio album, "Filoi Kai Ehthri" (Friends and foes) with some many hit singles, including "Na Eisai Ekei" (To be there), "Aisthimata" (Feelings), "Heria Psila" (Hands High).

This version of the album included a new bonus song titled "Kati Leipi" (Something is missing), which was later released to radio stations.
