It’s been a wild year for the gifted and authentic guitarist, Nicole Papastavrou. From forming her quartet of dedicated musicians to create the instrumental tech-death band Kallias, to joining the talented roster of a very prominent guitar establishment like Jackson Guitars – this is just the newest chapter she’s adding to an already passionate and strong career. Nicole has played in multiple sedulous bands like Eye Ra Haze and Meridiem, as well as teaming up with fellow acclaimed guitarist Nita Strauss. She talks about her journey from those experiences and how there just wasn’t any time during her life that music wasn’t a catalyst, and how that element was always something she allowed herself to grow up with – personally and artistically. Listen in now as Nicole also talks about the music life post-pandemic and what exciting plans await for Kallias – and make sure to buy the debut EP from Kallias titled “The Fourth Phase” out now on all streaming platforms.
