Why Australia feels like home for Greek music sensation Stan

·

Celebrated Greek singer Stan has captured hearts around the globe with his unique voice and heartfelt melodies. On the cusp of his much-anticipated performance at ‘Bouzoukia by the Sea‘ at the Semaphore Foreshore in South Australia, Stan opened up about his journey into music, his connection with the Greek diaspora, and what fans can expect from his performances.

The heart of Greek music

Born and raised in Greece, Stan’s path to stardom was far from conventional.

“I never imagined I would be involved in music,” he admitted in an interview with Stavroula, saying it wasn’t a part of his life “until an opportunity arose to write some songs.”

Those early compositions led to a surprising discovery. He and a friend recorded songs for a demo and people were curious about the voice behind them. This serendipitous moment marked the beginning of Stan’s career, one that would intertwine deeply with Greek music and culture.

Australia: A home away from home

Stan’s connection with Australia runs deep, thanks to its vibrant Greek community. Reflecting on his visits, he said, “Every time I come to Australia, I feel something extraordinary. It’s strange to be so far from home and yet feel so at home because of the warmth and love of the people.”

This duality, of being away yet feeling at home, fuels his performances.

The freedom of genre-bending

Stan’s repertoire spans a variety of genres, from folk to pop, a testament to his refusal to be boxed into a single style.

“I love to experiment and mix genres,” he explained.

This creative freedom allows Stan to explore different facets of his artistry, weaving together diverse influences that resonate with a wide audience.

With a catalogue of hits, choosing a favourite isn’t easy, but one song holds a special place in Stan’s heart.

“‘Paraxeno Paidi’ (Strange Child) stands out because it’s the only song I’ve written that isn’t about love. It explores the uniqueness of every individual,” he said.

What fans can expect

Stan’s upcoming tour promises to be a celebration of music, connection, and emotion.

“I’ve prepared a programme full of hits, both old and new. I want everyone to have fun, dance, sing, fall in love, and live unforgettable moments together,” he shared with enthusiasm.

Accompanied by his orchestra, Stan is ready to deliver an unforgettable experience.
