Giannis Ploutarhos (Greek: Γιάννης Πλούταρχος) is a Greek singer. He was born on 18 December 1970 in a small village outside Orxomenos called Mavrogia. He lived there until the age of sixteen when he then decided to go to Athens to make his dream come true: to become a singer.
He sang professionally for the first time in a small music hall in Koridalos area. Disappointed by the conditions prevailing in the music business, he abandoned it twice and occupied himself with other professions and in particular hairdressing so as to make a living.
But something urged him to come back to singing. Two years after his first appearance, he sang in at “Rodolfo”. Big music halls followed such as “Neraida”, “Fantasia”, and “Tunnel” where he worked with well-known artists such as Giannis Poulopoulos, Rita Sakelariou, Themis Adamantidis and contemporary singers such as Stelios Rokos and Giorgos Mazonakis.
Wherever he worked, he made fans but most of all friends. That was when he met Dimitris Kardagis and Ilias Filipou who had both faith in him and his talent and brought him into contact with his first producer Giorgos Makrakis. He was the one who gave him his pseudonym “Ploutarhos”. *wikipedia*
