Gina Gardiner Tomorrows Talent with Chris Orfanopoulos
Chris Orfanopoulos Bio:
At the age of 12, experimentation with a Casio keyboard marked the beginning.
Later, engagement with the guitar, exploring 3-4 chords guided by a close friend and schoolmate.
At the age of 20, some compositions in the chill-out genre emerged with the acquisition of a keyboard-synthesizer, along with collaborative musical efforts that didn't fully develop.
No formal music studies, except for half of a borrowed book for practical piano-keyboard exercises.
At 27, the first rock/hard rock band was founded, evolving later into Drunk Notes, a result of a close friendship with a neighbor drummer. Subsequently, they encountered a skilled guitarist and a talented family friend keyboardist on their journey. Numerous good friends and musicians from this circle collaborated until the band's conclusion in the summer of 2019.
Two years later, in January 2021, at the age of 37, an acoustic project named Foggy Forest was established with his wife, exploring a Country Rock sound. Actively engaged with various participations and collaborations up to the present, focusing of covers and recordings.
Simultaneously, the release of personal musical compositions commenced in September 2023, starting with the track Fly With Me, featuring backing vocals by his wife Vasiliki Krassa.
