After spending his early adult life in Athens, Greece attending college for composition but also mechanical engineering, his love and passion for music prevailed and earned him a scholarship to study film scoring in Boston, MA where his US journey began.

He is a Sundance Institute Alumni, Film Independent Fellow, and has won composition and scoring awards. He is currently based out of his studio on the Warner Bros Studio Lot.
