Μιχάλης Χατζηγιάννης
Mihalis，全名Michalis Hatzigiannis，希腊名Μιχάλης Χατζηγιάννης，塞浦路斯希腊族。1979年11月5日出生于塞浦路斯首府尼科西兰。Mihalis毕业于塞浦路斯音乐学院，拥有吉他演奏，钢琴演奏，音乐理论三重学位。在他18岁时，他凭借一首Afetiries获得自己的首个音乐奖项。接着又凭借'I Diki Mou Istoria赢得巴尔干音乐大奖。1995年参加欧视赛塞浦路斯预选，最终名列第二，没能成行。这没有影响到他的音乐生涯。他推出的单曲"Senario", "O Mihalis Hatzigiannis Traguda Doro Georgiadi" 及"Epafi".都获得白金销量。并开始在塞浦路斯进行巡回演唱会。1998年，他如愿代表塞浦路斯参加欧视赛，演唱"Γένεσις" (Genesis), 最终名列第十一。借此契机开始自己在希腊的音乐生涯，与环球唱片希腊公司签约， 发行自己的单曲Angigma Psychis" (Touch of soul)。2000年发行自己的双专辑debut album in Greece "Paraxeni Giorti" (Strange Celebration). 专辑中的Mono Sta Onira" (Only in dreams) 在希腊广播榜上停留很久。专辑赢得双白金销量，是mihalis实力的肯定，也是音乐生涯的一个高峰。2009年前往德国发展，2010年筹划自己的首张英文专辑Heria Psila.Everyone Dance 是专辑首波主打。(以上为闻斯翻译） Mihalis的声音醇厚质感又更耐人寻味，伴随吉他弦音营造的乡村氛围，似乎有种夕阳西下的美感。清朗的钢琴节奏和适到好处的鼓点以及带有暖意的吉他伴奏，仅单纯觉得这样的感觉更有幸福的味道。Mihalis的抒情慢歌常带有海洋古国的浪漫优美加上他本人那融有些微传统味道的句末唱法，柔情的嗓音，如风轻轻勾勒著，飘动著一段悠远的美丽故事。相当喜爱它带有的，飘渺冷冽气质，微透热度的声音似是想挣脱，似是表现激情，不是那种动感的舞曲，神秘的感觉却又让人想随之律动，Mihalis的声音粗犷却不过火，总能像温柔的羽毛轻抚听者的心，电吉他及鼓点相激而出，是浪潮般的满漾情意，让我们一起来领略这浪漫的异国情调吧～ 《To kalytero psema》（The Best Lie）专辑于2010年底面世，在希腊获得了五白金销量的认证，首支单曲更是蝉联国际榜多周冠军。曲风时而轻快，时而忧伤，时而舒缓，时而悠扬。显示出了Mihalis多变的风格和无与伦比的作曲天赋。 Born on the Greek side of Cyprus (though his parents fled to the other side of the island during the Turkish invasion of 1974), Mihalis Hatzigiannis developed a strong singer/songwriter sound, becoming highly popular in Greece despite the generally club/dance-heavy sounds of Eastern Europe. Starting out young with his first major performances coming at Eurovision qualifiers when he was only 17 years old, he had three hit records (all reaching platinum status in Cyprus) and a representation at Eurovision by the time he was 20, whereby he expanded into the larger market of Greece proper. After a successful soundtrack collaboration, Hatzigiannis released his first full-length Greek album, quickly hitting the double-platinum mark and catapulting the singer into stardom and collaborations with major Greek vocal stars. Garnering awards and popularity, Hatzigiannis performed on behalf of Cyprus at a European Union induction ceremony and on behalf of Greece at the 2004 Olympics, soon moving beyond touring his home region and into Greek communities worldwide (notably Australia and the Chicago, IL area of the United States). Pumping out an album each year, Hatzigiannis continued to build a strong following, also branching into styles other than his original singer/songwriter format, hitting upon elements of dance and electronica, perhaps more par for the course in Eastern Europe. Releasing a second live album (his tenth overall album) in late 2007, Hatzigiannis quickly captured platinum status and remained in the Greek Top Ten in album sales through the fall of 2008 on the strength of the album.
