Yiorgos Kaloudis was born in Athens in 1973. He experienced music from the families of his parents, which included many musicians from various genres and styles of music. He started playing the piano and drums with his parents. He studied classical music at the Athenaeum Conservatory, classical guitar with Liza Zoe and Evangelos Asimakopoulos, and then decided to study the cello with Claire Demeulenaere, where he graduated with Honours. He also studied cello for a year with Renato Ripo in Athens, and with Vitaliy Maltsev in Rethymnon. He was awarded a scholarship by the Fulbright Foundation for his solo cello compositions in 2002, providing him with the opportunity to continue his studies in Los Angeles under the tutelage of Ted Greene and James Mahlis, in composition, orchestration and improvisation.

Since 1993, as a cellist and multi- instrumentalist, he collaborated in numerous tours, productions and recordings in the Greek musical scene. As a Cretan lyra soloist he collaborated with international orchestras including the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and the Lege Artis Chamber Choir in St. Petersburg, the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra, and the National Symphony Orchestra of Thessaloniki.

His debut album “Truth” was released in 2005.
