Biography
Mandoukion, Corfu, Greece (1991 – present)
Sakis Rouvas (Greek: Σάκης Ρουβάς; born on 5 January 1972 in Mandoukion, Corfu, Greece) is a Greek musician, television and film artist, businessman, and former pole vaulter who is one of the most successful and influential entertainers of all time in Greece and Cyprus. Beginning a career as a member of the national athletics team, Rouvas commenced a musical career in 1991 and became one of Greece’s first pop performers; widely recognized as the genre’s main performers to this day, he is credited with breaking cultural and generational barriers and aiding in the popularization of Western music genres in Greece and Cyprus.
Very soon, music and singing became a part of his life. His classmates certainly still remember an unforgattable graduation party where Sakis was the undisputed star of the show as he performed the greatest hits of Elvis and the Beatles. Gymnastics was also his other passion where he achieved distinctive national awards. He also excelled in pole vaulting and, as an exceptional talent that he was, he became a member of the Hellenic National team.
Sakis made his first professional appearance in Athens, in 1991. It was there where Polygram “discovered” him, offering him the first recording contract. Only a few months later he made an outstanding “debut” by performing at the “Thessaloniki Song Festival”. The song titled “Par’ ta” won the first award for music and Sakis got his first experience of the enthusiastic fans who immediately sensed that a new star was to rise.
