About

Giorgos Sabanis is a rare talent who transitioned from being a national track and field champion to one of Greece's most prolific singer-songwriters. He famously ran in the 2004 Athens Olympics opening ceremony before dominating the charts with his high-energy pop-rock anthems. Known for his distinctive rasp and immense composing talent, he has written dozens of hits for other major artists like Helena Paparizou and Antonis Remos. In 2025, his album Kati San Asteri achieved multi-platinum status, and by 2026, he remains the premier architect of the modern Greek radio sound, consistently headlining the largest live stages in Athens.
