Demetris Moraitis was born in Nicosia in 2005. As he grew up in a musicians’ family he had the chance to come across jazz music at a very early age for which he expressed his great enthusiasm and devotion. Since the age of 8 years old he has been having music lessons, attending seminars and workshops in Cyprus and abroad by distinguished teachers and showed discipline and love for studding. Soon, he made his first steps performing next to some brilliant musicians like Marios Toumbas, Michael Messios, Iacovos Parpas and Ioannis Vafeas.
