about
Panagiotis Rafailidis was born in Athens, Greece on 3rd January. Singing became a significant part of his life by chance; a close friend - a singer herself - convinced Panagiotis to participate in the singing competition Eurostar, whose winner is selected to represent the country in the 2004 Eurovision song contest. Ραφαηλίδης secured the fourth position, which gave him a boost to make the next step in the singing career. He immediately got proposed to perform with singer Γιάννης Πλούταρχος; and then came his first contract with a big record label, Minos EMI. During the winter of 2004-05 he appeared on a show with Χάρις Αλεξίου and Ελευθερία Αρβανιτάκη. His debut album released by Minos EMI is entitled Θέλω να μάθω and is based on modern soungs and rhythms. It includes a variety of musical styles such as pop, rock, ballads, and the Greek popular style, "laika". The composer and singer Λάκης Παπαδόπουλος was responsible for Ραφαηλίδης' first single hit, "Θέλω να μάθω", whose video clip was directed by White Room.
