I'm an optimist by choice not by stupidity.

My goal is to connect with people emotionally. I take life’s experiences and translate them into music — music that hopefully creates an impact on the listener.
Yanni
I believe that having an open mind is one of the most important qualities we can possess. Once our minds close, we stop evolving.
Yanni
In Greek, we do not use just one word for love. We have many words that are specific to each type of love.
