Stelios Kyriakidis (kee-ree-ah-KEE-dis) is a Greek guitarist and composer creating contemporary instrumental music that moves between intimacy, narrative, and cinematic atmosphere. His work is rooted in the expressive possibilities of the guitar, but extends beyond it, engaging with film, dance, and interdisciplinary performance.

​

Stelios had his music featured on BBC Radio, and has performed at London venues such as Green Note, Theatreship, and St Bride’s Church, as well as across the UK and internationally at the Somerset Jazz Festival, Sofar Sounds (Brighton & Bristol), 21st Century Guitar Conference (Indianapolis, USA), Herman Schulz Cafe (Berlin, DE) and Spiti Art Bar (Athens, GR), among others.

 

He has released multiple albums and EPs, including 508 Days (2023). Copenhagen, from 508 Days, entered the iTunes United Kingdom Classical Charts. I’ll Split Mine With You, from the same album, was included in the compilation CD Guitar Tenderness, released in Japan. Minor7th magazine described his music as “a delightful way of creating bright, shimmering melodies that you want to hear again.”

​

Stelios is currently releasing his second full-length album, 9 Moments (2026).
