Grammy-nominated  Greek-American musician, Panagiotis Andreou opens up about his musical career, proud moments, and discusses his ethnic background.

Panagiotis Andreou has been performing professionally as a bass player and vocalist, since the age of sixteeen. He has studied and played music since the young age of six.

Particularly impressive about Mr. Andreou’s talent is that he holds ten years of experience in baroque flute (alto and bass), six years of classical piano, and two years of classical clarinet.

“I went to the Musical High School of Athens,” remarks Mr. Andreou. “You are accepted there through an audition process and it’s a state school, where there is no tuition. At the school, I studied many different instruments and took musical courses in the genres of world, classical, as well as traditional Greek music such as byzantine and folklore. I also studied bouzouki, ‘floyera,’ which is a form of traditional flute, and vocal performance. I was also in the Byzantine choir, and I explored a plethora of world instruments such as the kena and the pan-pipe harmonica,” he adds. Growing up in Greece, Mr. Andreou came to the United States with a scholarship to study at the Berklee School of Music. He completed his Master’s degree at SUNY-Purchase, with a partial scholarship. “I came here with the ‘old world’ concept of studying music. Although Berklee offered music business and music technology majors, I did the traditional ‘performance’ major and I missed out on learning about the reality of the music business world.
