George Theodossiadis was born in Athens in 1940. He studied music and decoration. He started his career in 1960 as a disk-jockey at the Greek National Radio playing rare jazz records. Things got off the ground in 1963 when he begun to play jazz music with his quartet on radio broadcasts. In the meantime, he composed the music for a film called "Jealousy". It was his first soudtrack and unveiled his jazz influences. During the following decades he composed and arranged the music for various films. The main characteristic of these soundtracks was the jazz and latin influences filtered through his own attitude and the skillfuness of his musicians. The style of George Theodossiadis as an arranger and composer varies among cosmopolitan jazz and latin.

Mike Rozakis was born in the Greek community of Egypt in 1946. He spent his teens in Zurich, Switzerland where he began his classical guitar studies. In 1965, at the age of 19, he moved to Athens, Greece where he continued his music studies in the Greek Odium. In the meantime, he entered a Greek beat group called The Charms, where he played the bass and handled the lead vocals. Influenced himself by R&B music, he transformed the group into one of the top mod beat acts in the ‘60s scene. By the end of the decade, he left the group to follow a solo carrier as a singer, while he continued his music studies in composing and arranging in the National Odium of Athens. By the early ‘70s, he had become known as a talented composer and arranger among the elite artistic circles. Although he never got involved in soundtrack music, the film score for “She Knew No Other Way” being his sole offer to this field stands out as an artifact of the psychedelic period of cinema.


George Hadjinassios was born in Thessaloniki in 1942. He studied music at the National Odeum of Thessaloniki and Athens and mastered his music studies in Paris.

He composed his first soudtrack in 1971. It was the "Sinners" and unveiled his jazz influences and his ability to control 25-piece bands. In the next few years he continued to compose soundtrack music marked with his pesonal style. George Hadjinassios became famous as a composer and arranger during the following years, and is now regarded as one of the A-class Greek composers.
