5. What have you achieved in your 17 years and what are your ambitions?
Since the summer of 2009 I started the band Shadow Of Light which was very succesfull. We made a lot of concerts and had a lot of contract offers from several companies. In 2010 I joined the philharmonic orchestra of Larnaca, playing baritone saxophone.
I have participated in various music competitions where I have been distinguished. Then I began composing music and I must say that I found my domain. By far I have worked with several well known musicians both in Cyprus and Greece. My ambition is to get a scholarship to Berklee in Boston USA and to study there music composition.
6. What do you consider strength and what flaw in your character?
One strength I think is patience. I have lots of patience and persistence when I want to accomplish something. I can work on something day and night to make it happen. A flaw in my opinion is that it is difficult for me to trust someone, and I prefer to work alone. And yet something I'm not quite sure if it is an asset or flaw is that I am a perfectionist.
7. What moment of your life you would like to relive and which one you would like to delete forever?
The moment I want to relive is the concert of my band at Pattichion Larnaca Amphitheatre. The entire preparation, the funny moments with the group and the feeling of playing on stage in front of so many people. Now ... I can't think of any moments I would like to delete. I am here because I lived those moments. I live every moment, good or bad, because they made me the man I am.
1. What is your name, when and where were you born?
My name is Andreas Christodoulou. I was born in Cyprus in 1993.
2. When did you start playing music?
I always had an interest in music. I remember when I was 6-7 years old, I got my hands on a keyboard for the first time and I wrote my first song! But I started taking music seriously when I was 16. Then I decided, this is what I want to do in life.
3. What musical instruments do you play?
My basic instrument is the piano. That's why most of my compositions are for the piano. But I also play electric and classical guitar, drums, bass, saxophone and baritone saxophone.
4. When did you begin composing and what kind of music do you prefer?
I began composing music recently, in my 17 years. I've always liked instrumental music. My inspiration was the famous composer Yanni. He was the reason I loved this music and started composing. I'd like to believe that my pieces make the person who listens to them relax and escape the pressure of everyday life.
