George Coutsoudis: Bio

Hi, and welcome to my site! I hope you enjoy the music. Let me tell you a little about myself.

I grew up in a crazy Greek household in Johannesburg, South Africa. My first love of music was born way back when my brother introduced me to Adam and the Ants- and they blew my eight year old mind! I loved the fact that they had two drummers. Rhythm is such an important part of music for me. I feel that in a lot of music, melody is born out of rhythm.

I completed my Bachelor of Music in Composition at Wits University in Johannesburg, South Africa. I subsequently studied at Mountview Theatre School in North London, and upon graduating I worked in the hit musicals FAME and SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. I have performed in London's West End, the Far East, South Africa, and toured UK number 1 Venues. What an amazing experience it is to work in theatre and tread the boards. It's a great training ground, and works the creative juices in a disciplined environment.

5 years ago I decided I wanted to concentrate on my songwriting. Since then I have been performing at various gigs/ singer songwriter evenings, writing, learning Pro Tools software, and producing my debut album Butterflies, which was released on Tinkerbox Records. My album is available on download from iTunes Music, and is also available for streaming on Spotify.

Ciao for now beautiful people, enjoy the music.
