ABOUT MANOLIS
Manolis was born March 1960 in Kavala, Greece. At the age of nine years, he began taking his first lessons on the bouzouki from his teacher George Petrakopoulos. He started his professional musical career in Australia at age 16 and worked alongside virtuoso bouzouki player Nikos Karanikolas.

As his mentor, Nikos Karanikolas took him under his wing and passed on to Manolis his extensive and in-depth knowledge of Rebetika and contemporary Greek folk music. Whilst performing and studying with Nikos Karanikolas, Manolis continued his studies on the classical guitar and contemporary music at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and then in Greece.

During his professional career he has performed with acknowledged Greek composers such as: G. Katsaros had a J. Markopoulos, G. Hatzinasios, M. Plessas, G. Spanos, N. Lavranos, T. Polykandriotis, also with rebetes M. Genitsaris and N. Karanikolas.

He also collaborated with many Greek singers such as T. Voskopoulos, G. Parios, Marinella, M. Mitsia, M. Lidaki, P. Papadopoulou, M. Dimitriadis, K. Kouka and others.

For fifteen years he performed next to the unforgettable diva Vicky Mosholiou.
