Progress: A word that I was never afraid of | Michalis Paouris | TEDxNKUA

Michalis Paouris is a soloist in bouzouki and guitar. He started playing bouzouki at the age of 8. At a very early age, those who listened to him playing said that he is a "miracle child" and later as a teenager, many in the music industry, described him as a "phenomenon". He started professionally at the age of 10 and found himself on the side of many great musicians. Specifically, when he was 15, Mikis Theodorakis was on his side, who had said that the 15 year old Michalis Paouris reminded him of Chiotis. In his teenage years he won many first-ever national awards. Later, he began his solo career by putting the bouzouki in jazz. Today, he has dozens of first world awards, 12 discs and 5 books he signs himself.
