Ilias Mantikos (born April 28 1989) is a greek musician and composer. He is a kanun* virtuoso and he often performs in greek folk and traditional, turkish folk and other eastern traditional music styles such as arab, or even balkan. Lately he likes to combine all these styles with a bit more jazzy mood, in order to make inspired covers of old songs and his own compositions.

Ilias was born and raised in Rhodes island, Greece. By the age of 12 he began to study the kanun. He has taken masterclasses by outsanding greek and turkish musicians such as Pantelis Anastasopoulos, Apostolos Tsardakas, Halil Karaduman, Goksel Baktagir, Ahmet Meter and others. He has competed in a variety of music contests, winning the 1st prize four times.
