Album Notes

I feel already very proud of this album because I had the chance to work with some of the UK’s foremost musicians. The album is based on sounds and ideas from all over the world which makes each composition unique in texture and style. The lyrics are sung in Persian where my dear friend Bruce Game originates from. From the beginning I thought the idea of Persian lyrics exciting and since Persia, like Greece is a country rich in history, I could relate to and establish a connection. I also thought it would be interesting for the listener to hear a rare and unique language. The style of my music can not be labelled, a deliberate decision, one that I will leave up to you. I simply compose my music by developing what is first created in my head believing that there are no boundaries or styles. Music is a global thing!!!
