Giorgos Tabakis was born in Athens in 1980. He came into contact with music at the age of 10, when he met the guitarist-composer Kostas Eliades with whom he started and completed his studies in classical guitar. Then he studied jazz guitar, jazz theory and improvisation with Andreas Georgiou.

While studying the guitar, he also experimented on string and wind instruments from various countries, such as sitar, sarod, didgeridoo, etc. During the same period he studied classical piano with the pianist and soprano Konstantina Mantziari.Since 2007, he has been experimenting with alternative ways of playing/performing on 7string guitars, creating an intimate artistic style.

He collaborates with musicians from jazz and the creative music area, participating in various projects and concerts. He has also composed music for video art, artistic photography documentary, theatre and contemporary dance performances.

He teaches classical, jazz, contemporary guitar, advanced theory and improvisation in Melydro Music School in Athens. His debut album "Inter Mundos" was released in 2015.
