About Dionysis Savvopoulos

Dionysis Savvopoulos (Greek: Διονύσης Σαββόπουλος; 2 December 1944 – 21 October 2025) was a Greek singer-songwriter. As a musician and songwriter, he made significant contributions to modern Greek music as part of the Greek New Wave. Although Savvopoulos was not famed for his voice, his talent in songwriting impressed Alekos Patsifas, the director of the Lyra record company in Greece which was specializing in artists of the Greek New Wave, who signed him. Savvopoulos then hitchhiked on a truck to Athens and took various odd jobs, including working as a nude model for students in the Athens School of Fine Arts and as a journalist in a newspaper. Savvopoulos remained with this label until 1983.
