About this user
Growing up in a purely musical family, since both of my parents are professional musicians (my father, Eygeni Bratuska is a contra-bassist, and my mother, Galina Bratuska, a violonist) I get in touch with music at a very young age, starting to learn the violin and music theory from my mother.
While continuing music lessons with my mother, I begin classical singing studies in «Athena» Conservatory, originally with Dimosthenis Fystouris, and, later on, with Mata Katsouli . After five years of studies in classical singing, I continued with modern singing, initially with Martha Moreleon. At present, I study modern singing with Elisabeth Karatzoli. I'm also taking classical and modern dancing lessons in Rallou Manou's School of Dancing.
After high school, I get in touch with the art of acting, studying in "Arxi School of Acting. Alongside with my studies, I begin live appearances as a singer and I receive the honouring proposal from the Stop The War movement to participate in the anti-war project «Den yparxei eirini xwris dikaiosyni» with songs by Dionysis Kwtsakis. many great artists took part in this project, all profits of which were donated to the victims of war in Iraq. Artists like Nikos Touliatos and the drum group «Hxodrasi», Marios Strofalis, Typaldos Choir, the actor Stefanos Linaios, Stavros Kwnstantopoulos (Magic De Spell), Apostolos Psixramis, Giorgos Skordilis, Dimitris Agerakis, Kostas Niwras and Babis Panagiotakopoulos. Taking into account the greater cause of this project, I gladly support its furtherance through radio and TV presentations and interviews, as well as participating in the clip of the song «Mi matwneis ourane».
From this point on, numerous appearances take place, on various music stages ( «Arxitektoniki» , «Under world» , «Blue cafe» κ.τ.λ) as well as in open concerts ( 1st Municipal Festival of Piraeus , Nikaia Festival, the Main Unicef concert-2005 , anti-war and antiracist concerts and so on ) within and out of Athens, in which, I had the chance to share the stage with many notable artists such as the Mikis Theodorakis Orchestra, Vaggelis Germanos, Xristoforos Krokidis, Giannis Nikolaou, Giannis Zouganelis, Giannis Giokarinis ,Georgia Velivasaki, Miltiadis Pasxalidis, Johny Vavouras, the bands 2002GR , Ekeinos ki ekeinos, Rodes, Magic De Spell and many others.
In 2006 I participate in the Pure Rock II compilation from Atlantis Records with the song «Pou nasai», written by Dionysis Kwtsakis, with whom I retain a permanent collaboration.
In 2007, along with my appearances in rock music stages, I collaborate with composer Nikos Pitloglou. On the autumn of the same year, I record another duet with Dionysis Kwtsakis, titled «Xamenes Eyxes» for soundtrack cd-single of the TV show «Mou to kratas maniatiko» of Alpha TV (a G.Karagiannis production), the recording of which is carried out along with Carpe Diem. The CD-Single, including three other songs, (between them and «Pou nasai» in re-distribution is expected
