Antonis Remos

Greek singer. Born 19 June 1970 in Düsseldorf, West Germany.

He lived there until he was 10 and then his family moved back to their hometown, Thessaloniki, Greece, where he finished school.

During his childhood he got involved with music and learned to play the guitar and the drums.

First commercial success

He started his career at the age of 17, singing at a small tavern in Thessaloniki. His first big live performance took place in 1992, when he appeared in the 31st Thessaloniki song festival. After many appearances in Thessaloniki, in 1995 Antonis Remos had his first live appearance in Athens. He performed live next to famous artists, such as Dimitris Mitropanos([a916548]), Stefanos Korkolis([a1021986]) and Marios Tokas([a1022360]). This same year he signed his first contract with [l613093], planning to release his first album. The first album, “Antonis Remos” which was released in 1996, became platinum in a few months.

In 1997 he gains recognition in his live performances in “Handres” and “Diogenis Palace”

In April 1998, his second album, “Kairos Na Pame Parakato” ("Time to Move On") was released. For the first time, some of the most-prestigious Greek composers had given their songs to [a164428], and for a second time in a row, the album gained platinum status.

A year later, in December 1999, another album is released with the title “Pali ap’tin arxi” (Again from the beginning) in which he collaborates with big composers, such as Christos Nikolopoulos([a1021989]) and Stamatis Spanoudakis([a799873]). That record also becomes multi-platinum.
