Nicholas started off his musical journey at a young age. From primary school through high school Nicholas perfected the art of playing drums. In the 1990’s he began playing with several local wedding bands and as a DJ performer at bars and nightclubs around Melbourne.

By 2000 Nicholas was well into the DJ business and performed as a percussionist on a regular basis. In 2010 he stepped back from the club scene and entered the corporate world of weddings, engagements and private functions.

Nicholas continues to build on his musical career with his motivation and tireless dedication in becoming a truly unique and highly requested musical performer, drummer and percussionist who has also mastered the toubeleki, a Greek traditional drum instrument often used in the traditional folk rhythms of Greek laiko and rebetiko music.

I am a self-taught Artist living in Sydney. I began drawing from an early age and experimented with paint and other mediums from the age of 12.

My passion and specialty is Greek art, with inspiration drawn from themes depicting Ancient Greece, as well as other genres. I have been commissioned to paint, draw, design and create murals for numerous cafes, restaurants and private residences both here and overseas. Easily motivated to create, I especially enjoy painting murals, two of which are on display in café restaurants in Greece. I have no boundaries.

My life is my art. My work has been exhibited at the Greek Embassy in Canberra, The Hellenic Club, Canberra, and ‘Hellenic Inspirations’ Tap Gallery, Sydney.

I am a plein aire landscape painter and also painter of Hellenic themes of a historical nature or of pure Hellenic ethos.

My Hellenic works are passionate, original and nationalist, with a strong appeal to many born in Greece as well as first generation Greek Australians.

My work has been hung in NSW Parliament House, The Greek Embassy Canberra.

I have twice exhibited in The Blake Art Prize and once in the NSW Plein Aire Art Prize.

In 2009 and 2011, I was awarded the Hunters Hill Council Art Prize NSW and also received several minor art awards.

I plan to exhibit a selection of my work (‘Zembekiko’, ‘Limnos 1915’ and ‘Sunset of the Hellenes’) in Greece.
