Chris was born in Sydney Australia and at the age of 10 he told his father that he wanted to learn that "Greek" instrument "the bouzouki"! He started taking lessons from George Petrakopoulos but after about 6 months Mr Petrakopoulos returned to Greece so Chris continued on his own. By the age of 11 he was performing in Greek nightclubs on the weekends. He steadily became very popular and was often called "the child wonder"! He performed on various TV programs and took first place on a TV talent show. His popularity grew and he became well known amongst the Greek community all over Australia which he toured on many occasions. He was an inspiration to many young Greek boys who also wanted to learn the bouzouki to be like "Christaki" as he was known by all.
