Born in Athens of Greece in 1978 in a family of musicians whose father was and still is one of the top Greek drummers.

His first touch with drums was at the age of 2 by holding a pair of drumsticks in a perfect way. His father constantly took him to various rehearsals and various live shows and this was so

interesting for Manos. At the age of 5, Manos started playing shyly the drums in a drum set at their home. At the age of 7, started piano lessons in order to have a complete musical view. During his school years he also followed music theory and drum courses in several music academies. At the age of 20 when he accomplished his army duties, start working as a professional drummer with many Greek top artists/singers and performers until now, and the last 10 years he's also a drum teacher.
