About Nikos Karvelas

Nikos Karvelas was born in 1951 in Piraeus, Greece, with the birth name of Nikos Leonardos. He is a singer, songwriter, and producer. He is best known for his work with Anna Vissi, who collaborated with him on music and also was married to him for a decade. Vissi has claimed that the first impression she had when she met Karvelas was that he was a "hairy thing," but she was amazed by his talent and his sex appeal. Although their marriage ended in divorce, they continued to collaborate as artists, and he wrote the lyrics for most of her songs in the years that followed.

Karvelas' relationship with music began at age 5, when his parents bought him a piano. He learned to play popular music, and also to create his own. In the 1970's he created his first band. However, he didn't achieve commercial success until 1985 when he released his first studio album, which became gold. His next album, released in 1987, achieved platinum status. He went on to release a total of 19 albums, which included 4 gold and 2 platinum.
