Mini bio
How it started.
Born and raised on Corfu, Sakis began his professional music career at the Thessaloniki Song Festival in 1991. His self-titled debut album followed that year, setting him on the path from a new voice to a familiar presence in Greek pop.
The Eurovision connection.
For many fans outside Greece, the introduction was “Shake It”, which finished third at Eurovision in 2004. He co-hosted the Athens contest with Maria Menounos in 2006, then returned as Greece’s contestant in 2009 with “This Is Our Night”, finishing seventh.
Always trying something new.
Music has shared space with acting and television throughout his career. He hosted Greece’s The X Factor from its first season in 2008 and appeared in Alter Ego and Duress. His recent releases include the Latin pop of “Kontra Pao”, the FY duet “Kounia Bella” and “Kragion”.
