About Konstantinos Koufos
Early Life
Konstantinos Koufos is from Corfu and studied in the Translation Department at the Hellenic-American Union before settling in Athens. He got his start as a DJ before moving into recording and performing.
Musical Style & Sound
Koufos performs energetic, viral-driven modern Laïko, with a catalog built as much for YouTube and streaming virality as for traditional radio or club play. His live sets are known for being tight and well-rehearsed, with arrangements that come through clearly even in a high-energy setting.
Career Rise
Koufos began his career as a DJ before founding the group PersonaS with his friend Alexandros Avlonitis, uploading YouTube covers of well-known songs. In April 2015, the group released a Greek adaptation of "Uno Momento" titled "I Pio Oraia Stin Ellada," which became the hit of the year. He later launched his solo career with "Metro Antistrofa (5,4,3,2,1)," his first release under his own name rather than as PersonaS. Since then, nearly every release has become a viral hit, including "Ta Potiria Mas Psila," "Kentro Dierchomenon," "Otan Se Koito," "Trelainomai," "Gnisio Arseniko," "Sta Kalytera," "Parasiromai," and "Ela Opos Eisai," each racking up millions of YouTube views.
