‘’The Fighter’’ is the first single from the upcoming album “Big House.”
" The album was recorded mostly — and under very special circumstances — in the city of Jinja, Uganda, together with a group of local musicians called the “Nile Beat Artists.” It was completed in Athens with a little help from my fellow musicians - compañeros
I spent 16 months in Uganda, during the process of adopting my child.
Through the lyrics and melodies of these songs, you can hear my child’s story, but also the voices and struggles of millions of other children.
This album is dedicated to my son Konstantinos and also to Alex, Iasonas, Maria, Ioanna, Alexandros, Danny and to all the little fighters — the children who, in the face of hardship, never stop fighting, never stop smiling and survive ."

Lyrics
On the corner where the dirt meets the concrete glow
I played with a smile, I healed all my wounds
Every scrape on my knees, told a story of fight
In the silence of hope, I’m ready to shine
I’m more than a fighter in this hard dusty land
with the strength of my heart, I’m learning to stand
in the jungle of dreams, I swing from the trees
with the roar of the lions, I dance in the breeze
Every scar tells a story, in a world so unkind
with every little bruise, I lit up the night
through the battles I fought, I’ve learned how to love
when the skies are grey, I’m a star up above
I’m more than a fighter in this hard dusty land
with dreams in my pocket and stars in my eyes
every tear I’ve shed like rain on the ground
I’m a flower growing, I’ll never back down
Lalala, Lalala...
I’m a child from the land, where the sun always shines
with a heart full of hope, I can weather the times
In the fields of green where the wild rivers flow
I chase down the sunset where I’ve always belonged
I’m more than a fighter in this hard dusty land
in the jungle of life my race just began
I’m a flower growing strong in the heart of storm
in this desert world where my dreams were born
Lalala, Lalala...
So here’s to the fighters, the lost and the brave
together will rise , we’ll learn love and save
From the dirt of the street to this life that I lead
my heart is a fighter and love is my creed.
