Biography

Dionysis Savvopoulos, a renowned Greek singer-songwriter, was born on December 2, 1944, in Thessaloniki, Greece, to a middle-class family. He initially pursued a law degree at Aristotle University, but his passion for music and politics led to a disagreement with his father, causing him to drop out in 1963. Savvopoulos then embarked on a journey to Athens, where he worked odd jobs, including as a nude model for students at the Athens School for Fine Arts and a journalist for a newspaper.
