About
Dimitris Giannopoulos – Dimijazz – is a Music & Improvisation Mentor currently living between Nepal and Greece.
Blending the magic of music with years of inner introspection and human observation across Europe and USA from his early life, he has unlocked ancient life mysteries that brought to him in Himalayas. Recognizing the revitalizing power of sharing, he spreads and shares the experiences of his existence through his music.
Dimitris started playing music at the age of five, and at the age of 12 he was the youngest member of the Ulmer Philharmonic in Germany in the 3rd Clarinet position.
He started studying Informatics in University of Macedonia, Greece, but his eager for music and exploration of feelings was not satisfied.
One year later, he received a scholarship from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, USA to study Jazz Saxophone by which he graduated with summa cum laude in 2001.
While back in Greece he was actively playing music in Athens along with well-known Greek artists of the Jazz,“entehni”, and pop music scene.
He was also teaching music to share his passion with other people in the most respected music conservatories.
Despite his success and gained experiences, his life did not cover the void he was feeling. For that reason, in 2010 he decided to leave everything behind, and go to seek for a purposeful meaning.
Thus, he set up in the Himalayas of Nepal where he experimented with all kinds of different music and rhythms that fascinated him. Most importantly, through his journey, he was able to reconnect with his self, his spiritual part that was suppressed for many years until it was finally released.
