His music has been described “as if the guitar itself has a voice, whispering stories of love, loss, and hope to those who are willing to listen” and “an ideal soundtrack to both sunny days and stormy nights. Genuinely beautiful”.
Guitarist and composer Stelios Kyriakidis had his music featured on BBC Radio and regularly broadcast ever since. His music for guitar is a blend of all his varied influences such as neoclassical, pop and cinematic music. The Minor7th magazine stated that “Stelios has a delightful way of creating bright, shimmering melodies that you want to hear again”.
An active performer in places ranging from intimate venues to outdoor settings and festivals, Stelios has performed in the UK as well as internationally in the USA, Germany and Greece.
With three EPs to date, his debut full-length album “508 Days” has been released in October 2023. One of the pieces, I’ll Split Mine With You, has been included in the compilation CD ‘Guitar Tenderness’, released in Japan by Inpartmaint records. Stelios released the single Lullaby on October 2024 and Keep Going on 17th January 2025.

"A subtle soundscape crafted and performed by Stelios Kyriakidis replicates the thudding of a heartbeat... the live music has a particular importance in reaching the audience. It's certainly a stronger production for it."
