Augustine Kizis

Early years

Kizis was born and raised in Athens, Greece. He began playing the piano at the age of six, so fascinated with music that he would play familiar, traditional Greek songs even as a youngster. He played them by ear, for he had no formal training in music, or in music theory. In his teenage years, he sat at the keyboard and entertained his friends, and he also took part in playing the piano for school activities. He also record music using an Amiga Commodore. His early music work lost after water damage destroyed digital storage then in use at that time.

When Kizis moved to the United States in 1996, he had visions of pursuing a musical career, but professionally he began working in the restaurant industry and, later, in the computer industry. His first CD release in 2005 Included two (2) songs from his early lost work, Esthesis and Dreamweaver.
