I would like to leave you with a couple of thoughts:

I don't like to define my music. To me, music is pure emotion. It's language that can communicate certain emotions and the rhythms cuts across genders, cultures and nationalities. All you need to do is close your eyes and feel those emotions.

I don't really like to explain my songs.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
Music is art, and once you become an artist, you need to learn how to accept criticism.

My father once said, 'If the whole world wants to go left and you feel like going right, go right. You don't have to follow. You don't have to make a big deal about which way you're going. Just go. It's very easy.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
I love the road, and I love coming in contact with the fans. They talk to me and that's irreplaceable. But when I get tired, I head to the studio and I am in there for a long time.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
Actually, with 'Truth of Touch' I wasn't even intending on making an album. I was just having fun. I had about a six-month period of down time, and I'm not very good at sitting around. So I kind of started going into the studio and having fun with new core mendin sounds.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
All you need is passion. If you have a passion for something, you'll create the talent.

Endurance is mind over matter.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
My music is based on melody and when I play the piano, it's as if I'm singing with them. When you try to transform that into a vocal, there was very little adjustment.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
A simple life is good with me. I don't need a whole lot. For me, a T-shirt, a pair of shorts, barefoot on a beach and I'm happy.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
With instrumental music, it is traditionally hard to get exposure.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
I just would use any instrument known to man in any combination as long as it describes an emotion.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
I don't want problems solved for me. I want the fishing rod, not the fish.
Yiannis Chryssomallis
-
All I had to do was do it.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
The good news is when you open up in Vegas, you have a lot of friends, because they all come over to see your opening night.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
You have to give up some of the old so that you can make room for the new.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
Being an athlete helps me get those grandiose emotions of pleasure and pain that are involved in sports.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
Not being able to read and write music is not the same as being illiterate in speech and writing.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
I do listen to a lot of music, but I don't listen when I'm writing.
Yiannis Chryssomallis
-
Creativity is an inherent human quality of the highest order. When we create, we become more than the sum of our parts.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
Focused will is incredible. If you have a dream and you don't give up no matter what obstacles come up, then life's problems will fall away and you will get what you want. It happens. It works.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
You accomplish what you want to accomplish. I just don't ever want to hurt anybody doing it.
Yiannis Chryssomallis -
The less you want, the richer you are. The more you need in order to be happy, the more miserable you'll be.
