Loucas was born and raised in Cyprus. He was naturally drawn to music and singing from an early age.


Supported by his family, he began studying music while still at school. He obtained his first qualification in classical guitar and attended byzantine music lessons for five years. At the same time he grasped every possible opportunity to join various bands and orchestras in Cyprus while experimenting with other musical instruments. However, it was evident that singing was the strongest of his skills and always came first in his heart. His first official attempt as a singer gave him the first prize in the 12th Cyprus Song Composition Competition hosted by the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (RIK).

After graduating from high school, he went to Greece to study Biology at the University of Patras but his dream to become a singer led him to audition for X FACTOR 2008-2009, where he was the overall winner and received excellent reviews on his vocal abilities and his stage presentation. Following his victory, he released his first single titled Den Fantazesai (You cannot imagine) written by the successful composer George Theophanous, obtaining once again excellent reviews.

Since 2009, he has been performing live with many famous Greek artists such as Elena Paparizou, Natasha Theodoridou, George Mazonakis, Dimitris Mitropanos and Peggy Zena. He has also formed his own band which performs in various music halls around Greece.

On March 2nd, 2011 he was selected by the Greek audience to represent Greece in the 56th Eurovision Song Contest with the song Watch My Dance.

Its a pleasure Greece. Anytime. Don't mention it.
Seeing that you folks are too busy rioting and trying to dodge taxes, we'd be glad to fill in the blanks....

It surely is different than any other song. It can be in the top 10.

Our lad will be singing in a few hours. Good luck.

And this year we have good reason, or is it excuse? , to give Greece 12 points.

There is nothing like a good Eurovison song.....

There's a few that would still "Boom bang-a-bang" Lulu despite the strange disappearance of her Scottish accent. Or, seeing as she's fae Dennistoun, maybe because of!
