Christos Stylianou

Christos Stylianou was born in Cyprus in 1974. He released his debut CD single (Cyprus, 11/2001), along with his first CD Album (Mare Anima, Cyprus 1/2002). His work can be categorized under the new age and crossover classical music wave, enriched with ethnic elements. He is now living in Athens, where he studied composition and orchestration. He has cooperated with sopranos Maria Latsinou, Olga Kassimis, Irene Zerva, Marietta Mitsidou Anastasia Zanni, Trisha Hayward, as well as, the Choir “Polyfonia” of Cyprus. The lyrics of his songs are written by songwriter Corina Michaelidoy in Greek, English, Italian and even Latin. In June 2005, he was chosen by the management of Emma Shapplin to perform the opening act of her concerts in Cyprus. His songs were performed by Anastasia Zanni in front of an audience of 2000 people in the Kourio ancient theatre. His act impressed the press critics, a fact that eventually led him to the preparation of his first international project, the presentation of his work in Paris. The concert took place on the 20th December 2005 in Cite Internationale des Arts, and his work was performed by the French “Ensemble Pyxis”. The concert was organized under the endorsement of Cyprus government and Embassy and the French Cultural Center of Cyprus. His new album "Tales of love" will be released in October 2007. The first single “Smell Of Roses” featuring Maria Latsinou is included in the compilation “HELLECTRONIC 01”, and has been released in June 2006 by “The Sound Of Everything” (www.thesoundofeverything.com). This compilation presents new and up-and-coming Greek artists from the whole spectrum of contemporary music. Read more on Last.fm.
