A household name with international appeal, he’s spent nearly two decades building a career that blends powerful vocals, magnetic stage presence, and versatility across music, television, and theater. Born and raised in Athens, Kostas burst onto the music scene in the mid 2000s and quickly rose to fame thanks to his unique voice, charisma, and tireless work ethic. Since then, he’s released five studio albums, all of which have gone Platinum in both Greece and Cyprus, and dozens of chart topping singles that have dominated Greek airwaves and playlists. But Kostas didn’t stop at music. His love for performance and connection with the public naturally led him into the world of television and acting, where he’s earned just as much admiration.

In 2009, Kostas hit the international stage when he was chosen as the opening act for Jennifer Lopez in Athens. That same year, E! Entertainment listed him in their global feature on the “25 Sexiest Men in the World”, marking him as a standout not only for his talent but also his global appeal. He’s also made two attempts to represent Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest, showing his drive to evolve and reach new audiences.

 

Now, after nineteen years in the industry, Kostas Martakis is ready to reinvent. 2024 marks the start of an exciting rebrand new sound, new visuals, and a renewed creative vision. With a fresh perspective and a deep passion for his craft, he’s currently in the studio working on his 6th studio album, which is also his first release with Minos EMI, one of Greece’s most prestigious labels. Set for release in 2026, this album will usher in a bold new chapter in his career, introducing fans old and new to the next evolution of Kostas. The journey has already begun with the release of the first single, “Geia Mas”, a taste of what’s to come raw, real, and unmistakably Martakis.

 

Kostas Martakis isn’t just a singer. He’s a storyteller, a risk-taker, and a performer in every sense of the word. Whether he’s lighting up a stadium, dancing on national television, or transforming into a character on stage, he gives 100% every time. With nearly two decades of experience, a loyal fanbase, and a vision for the future, Kostas is not looking back.
