Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, stemming from his Greek-Canadian roots, Tommy has been exposed to music ranging from traditional Greek dancing/music to contemporary music and genre throughout his life.  Since 2006, through a desire to augment his love for the flamenco style of music Tommy studied under the expert tutelage of Ruben Diaz, and has developed into a teacher specializing in techniques of Paco de Lucia and applying the technique to the modern repertoire of music.
