Filippos Pliatsikas is an esteemed Greek singer-songwriter and musician, widely recognized as one of the prominent figures in the Greek rock scene. He first earned widespread acclaim as the lead singer for the iconic Greek rock band Pyx Lax, which means 'punching and kicking' in English. The band enjoyed tremendous success from the late 1980s until their split in 2004, in which time they released a myriad of hit songs and albums that left an indelible mark on Greek music culture. Pliatsikas' raspy, emotive voice and profound lyrics became a hallmark of Pyx Lax's sound and contributed significantly to their status as one of the best-selling musical groups in Greece.

Following Pyx Lax's dissolution, Filippos Pliatsikas embarked on a solo career that has been marked by a series of critically acclaimed albums and collaborations. His solo work continues to draw from a rich palette of influences, blending rock with traditional Greek musical elements and poetic lyrics that often reflect social and personal themes. Among his most recent contributions to the music scene is the soundtrack "Meta Ti Fotia" for a TV series, which showcases his ability to weave compelling narratives through music. Other notable releases include "Afieromeno," with its heartfelt dedications, "Karantina Songs," a reflective project conceived during the COVID-19 lockdowns, and "Vale Fotia," a testament to his enduring flair for creating powerful and resonant songs. Pliatsikas' artistry is not confined to the studio, as he is also known for his magnetic live performances that continue to captivate audiences throughout Greece and beyond.
