Stamatis Spanoudakis is a Greek composer/songwriter. He first studied Classical music (guitar and theory). He later played bass guitar and keyboards in a number of bands, in the sixties and the seventies, in Athens, Paris and London where he lived and recorded his first albums. He was later attracted again to Classical music and returned to his studies of composition, first in Wurzburg Germany with professor Bertold Hummel and then in Athens with professor Konstantinos Kydoniatis. He was then attracted to his third love - Byzantine music, which led him to Greek songwriting and instrumental music. Since then he is consciously trying to reconcile his three musical influences (Rock, classical and Byzantine), in his music.
