Stamatis Spanoudakis

Stamatis Spanoudakis is a modern Greek classical composer. In his early career, he studied classical guitar. He shifted to rock music, but then continued classical studies at the Würzburg State Conservatory with Bertold Hummel and later in Athens with Konstantinos Kydoniatis. Later, he studied Byzantine music. He has worked with various Greek singers, composing the music and writing the lyrics for a large number of hit songs. With his religious works, he has provided a very different perspective of contemporary Byzantine music. He has also composed numerous soundtracks. Since 1994, he has exclusively composed instrumental music, such as music that embraces Greece's history and religion.
