Biography
Sillyboy lives in an old detached house in a working-class suburb of Athens next to the national railway. This urban landscape feeds the aesthetic of his music. Temperamental lyrics, bass-driven grooves, retro-pop synths and melodies are his tools. He began as a composer for TV commercials, shows and movies while he also produced records for other Greek artists.
In 2010, he released his debut, entitled “Played” which produced the homonymous hit single. The album received blazing reviews from the Greek press and media while it's sound drawn international attention with a flattering review from NYC's Sunday Best.
Two years later he started experimenting with a more guitar-driven direction, which gradually gave birth to his sophomore work, "Nature of Things" (2012). The track "Supply Chain" from that album won The Vinyl District's competition "TVD500" and granted Sillyboy a 7" US release with the label.
It’s now 2014 and Sillyboy returns with a new LP.
“Stalker” blends retro – pop with contemporary electronica. The video for the single "Do it Again" already premiered on Exclaim Magazine's (Canada) website while "Stalker" is receiving extensive radio airplay. Official international release of the album is planned for the 10th of October by KLIK Records (GR).

Reviews:
“It’s wonderfully moody and follows a classic form I’ve not heard in a long while. Perfect soundtrack to the very industrial black and white film playing in my head as viewed through a chain link fence.”
-Cheryl Pawelski, Omnivore Records / three-time Grammy-nominated producer-
"Perfect sunshine music for a New York summer starting to emerge"
-Eamon Harkin Sunday Best / NYC-
