Biography
[edit]Giorgos Mazonakis was born and raised in the neighbourhood of Nikaia, Piraeus. He grew up listening to the traditional Laïko songs of Stratos Dionysiou, Yiannis Parios, Marinella and Haris Alexiou. The first time he sang at a nightclub was in Patras in the summer of 1992, where he was discovered by executives of PolyGram Greece.
Throughout his career, Mazonakis has made many appearances throughout Greece, Cyprus, Germany, Australia and the US.
In 2002, the singer sang two songs of Stamatis Kraounakis on the soundtrack of the film by Nikos Panagiotopoulos titled Varethika Na Skotono tous Agapitikous Sou (I'm tired of killing your Boyfriends).
Mazonakis collaborated with the Greek fashion house Deux Hommes at MadWalk by Vodafone.
Hürriyet, a newspaper in Turkey, chose the nightclub Votanikos and George Mazonakis to represent the nightlife of Athens. Mazonakis completed his appearances at Votanikos in March 2011 and visited Turkey after preparing a collaboration with a Turkish songwriter. He continued collaborating with Turkish songwriters on his album titled Ta Isia Anapoda.
