Nikolas Fostiras

Nikolaos Fostiras was born in Piraeus and immigrated to Australia.
At the same time, he begins to learn bouzouki on his own and his love for the instrument leads him back to Greece to finish learning the instrument in the place of his birth at the age of 19.
In Greece, he also learned three-string and four-string bouzouki. He worked as a first-class professional accompanying with his bouzouki artists such as Dimitris Mitropanos, Sotiria Bellou, Yiannis Dounias and many other renowned artists. After 25 years of collaboration in all the renowned music venues in Greece and abroad such as America, New York, and Los Angeles, he returned to Melbourne where he studied advanced theoretical courses in music and composition for five years, graduating from the Box Hill Institute university, with an undergraduate degree in applied music-composition and a master's degree in contemporary music practice in higher education.
