He became known for his work for Despina Vandi , Toše Proeski , Keti Garbi and Elli Kokkinou .

Life

Fivos gained his first musical experience during his school days as a drummer in a rock band. He began to experiment with currently played music at an early age. Despite his studies at the Law Faculty of the University of Athens , Fivos decided to pursue a musical career and wrote his first compositions. For further training he took courses in harmony at the conservatory and private lessons with Demis Roussos . At 22 he signed his first recording deal. Since then he has written around 600 songs for the most successful Greek interpreters in the genre of Pop-Folk / Modern Laika.

In many of his songs Fivos fuses popular musical tendencies, folklore and other styles. His ideas established a number of musical trends. At the same time he discovered many new singing stars.

With the success of Despina Vandi's album “Gia”, Fivos also became internationally known. Gia also appeared in Bulgaria , Russia , Ukraine and Turkey and reached positions in the charts.

In his work as a composer and lyricist, his albums and singles went gold 18 times, platinum 19 times, 11 albums twice platinum, two albums four times platinum and one album six times platinum. So it became a matter of course for many performers to have success with songs by Fivos.

In 2009 Fivos founded his own record label "The Spicy Effect - Fivos Music Productions", for which he hired well-known artists such as Despina Vandi, Elli Kokkinou, Nino, Thanos Petrelis , and Giorgos Tsalikis .

Fivos not only writes music, but also texts and arrangements and is now producing most of the recordings himself. He is considered to be public shy and rejects almost all requests for interviews. Fivos only appears in public where it cannot be avoided. With a few exceptions, his full name is not given anywhere. At the beginning of 2005 he wrote a new club anthem at the request of the Greek soccer team AEK . In 2004, Fivos was a torch bearer for the Athens Olympics on the Greek island of Kefalonia . Fivos has been married to Amalia Kantere since 1999. In May 2009 he became the father of twins.
