His confession to music:

Gregoris understands his music as a conversation with his audience. It is as if the instruments try to speak.
They deplore the decline of society and sing at the same time of the sun and the joy of live in the eastern
mediterrianean. The confrontation with the audiance should not be dogmatic. Gregoris searches for new
forms of expression in the popular music, but wants at the same time to retain the "freshness and magic".
His music is a successful attempt at a synthese of classic greek folk music, rock and jazz.
A mix of western and eastern music.
