Art, the gift of God that drives our capabilities to cross the barriers of boredom into planes of creativity and amusement!
Born in 1955 in Egypt of mixed Greek and Egyptian origins, I was raised an only child of a middle-class family. My father was an architect while my mother was a housewife. They both had unexploited artistic talents so they strived to give me the opportunities they were not given. I had my primary and secondary education in an English school and got my B. Sc. Degree in Computer Engineering. However, I have always been obsessed with music and art in general. I started my piano lessons when I was six years old, played in a rock group when I was fifteen. Then I wanted to study music theory. Unfortunately, I could not enrol in the conservatory as I was not a regular student and they had closed the external studies section. My eagerness drove me to research and finally I was able, through a certain bookstore, to order, import, over twenty books in musical theory, structure, orchestration, etc. which helped a lot to build my musical background. Spirituality and metaphysics were mystic subjects that stimulated my avidity to learn more about, so my readings shifted from typical romance and thriller to science fiction, eastern philosophies, and spiritual books. These were the grains that developed to form my ideology.view less
