It’s really strange, but they speak to me — the notes and the chords. So when I hear other people’s music, I can feel the composer. Whoever created that, I can see in their soul.

While most of the music I write is instrumental, I love to use the human voice as another instrument.
Yanni
My father taught me that one of the most important abilities in life is to be able to take the pain and persevere, and for years this lesson had served me well.

You need a mind open to possibility, conditioned to love the creative spirit we all have inside ourselves.
Yanni
Continuing to create music and perform is so important to me for many reasons. I love the interaction and connection I get with people when we perform live. Nothing is more rewarding for me.
Yanni
Not being able to read and write music is not the same as being illiterate in speech and writing.
Yanni
Perhaps one of the most important lessons that I continue to have reinforced is to always have faith and believe in yourself. To never lose sight of who you are and to know yourself.
Yanni
A little bit of fear means you are doing something worth doing--you are stretching...You are going outside your immediate grasp.
Yanni
We need to learn to get along with each other and learn how to help one another.
Yanni
Truth is the number one element in whatever you do with music.
