My name is Vangelis Thanasis and I was born in Athens in 1993. I work as a bartender and manager at Frater & Soror in Pagrati and I do vocals for Seasons AC. From a young age, due to friendly influences, I was won over by hard sound and skate culture. Later I started to get involved with the subject of music myself, and from an early age I started to make a living, in order to preserve my relationship with music. Similarly, I got interested in tattooing. At the age of fifteen, knowing what social identity I wanted to adopt and wanting to externalize it - because we all do that at that age - I got my first tattoo. I can say that the graphic motto "if you get one tattoo, you don’t stop" (okay I relax), was not a special exception for me. Of course, I still have the same enthusiasm as then, every time I get something new done.
