Stelios Kyriakidis

London-based, Greek guitarist and composer Stelios Kyriakidis has been interviewed and had his music featured on BBC Radio London. The Minor7th magazine stated that “Stelios has a delightful way of creating bright, shimmering melodies that you want to hear again”. The Music Dances When You Sleep blog described his music as “it's as if the guitar itself has a voice, whispering stories of love, loss, and hope to those who are willing to listen”.
Stelios has performed in the USA, UK, Germany and Greece in places such as the 21st Century Guitar Conference (Indianapolis, USA), Green Note (London, UK), Somerset Jazz Festival (UK), Handmade & Recycled Festival (Athens, GR), Herman Schulz Cafe, (Berlin, DE) and Sofar Sounds (London, Brighton & Bristol, UK), among others.
With three EPs to date, Stelios’s debut full-length album, 508 Days, has been released on October 2023. The work features storytelling pieces along with short, song-like ones, arranged chronologically and making the album similar to an audio diary. One of the pieces, I’ll Split Mine With You, has been included in the compilation CD album ‘Guitar Tenderness’, released in Japan by Inpartmaint records.
Stelios holds an MMus in Music Performance (Classical Guitar) from the Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London and has been supported during his studies by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
