Exaras Spiros

Born and raised in Greece, Spiros studied clasical guitar and music composition at the Athens Conservatory of music, where he obtained his master's degree.

A great explorer on his instrument, he always liked to perform different styles such as jazz, rock and world music. Spiros became the lead guitarist of numerous prominent composers and singers at an early age. He has performed and recorded with Evanthia Reboutsika, Mario Frangoulis, Kostas Hatjis, Elias Andriopoulos, Alkistis Protopsalti and Antonis Kaloyannis, among others.

Because of his versatility as a musician he was also hired to work with Symphonic Orchestras such as Orchestra of Colors and Greek National Radio & Television Orchestra (ERT), in several projects, while he was chosen to accompany the legendary singer Shirley Bassey in her debut performance at the Acropolis ancient theater (1990).

In 1992, Spiros releases his first solo album with MBI records. The same year he moves to New York to pursue his "jazz dream".
