Nikos Vertis – Oneiro
Nikolaos “Nikos” Vertis, born in The Netherlands with the name Nikolaos Vertis Arvantidis, or in Greek ‘Νίκος Βερτης Αρβανιτίδης’ is a modern Greek Pop singer.
When he was six years old, his family moved to Greece where soon afterwards he started playing the bouzouki. The bouzouki is a musical instrument of the lute or string family. It is closest related to the mandolin. Immigrants traveling from Asia Minor introduced it to Greece. The bouzouki is played with a plectrum and has a slight metallic sound. The instrument comes with either three or four strings. It is the main instrument used in Greek folk music.
At the age of 16, he went to a technical high school in The Netherlands so he would not forget his native language, Dutch. After graduation and his military duties in Greece, he started performing in local clubs. People started to notice his voice at the popular club ‘Rodon’. In 2003, after signing with ‘Universal Music Greece’, he released his first album and won the award for “Best New Artist”.
Since then he performed various concerts around the world.
To date, he has released five albums as well as one CD single, and two special edition CD/DVD albums.
