PAVLO
"Guitar Master" (Toronto Star), Pavlo, continues to travel the world and work every audience into a hot Mediterranean frenzy! Pavlo introduced his infectious signature "6-String VS Greek Bouzouki" sound in 1998, when record executives told him "You will never find a market for this music." And, Pavlo's reply? "Challenge accepted."
Inspired by his own Greek father's words, "Have the courage to do what you love, and the drive to do it well," Pavlo created his own record label, and entered into the music scene as an "independent Pavlo is a true world artist, and yet remains one of the most humble and charming gentlemen anyone could meet. Pavlo, being forever thankful to his fans and audience, admits the rumor is true: Pavlo does, in fact, give away his own guitar during every concert!
When the Globe and Mail reviewed a Pavlo show, they reviewed the experience as "Amazing? Astonishing!!"
For being all instrumental, Pavlo's Mediterranean music speaks for itself.
In his 9th album,"Six String Blvd" Pavlo incorporates the world's most exotic instruments into his classic Mediterranean sound. Influenced by his travels, you will be captured by the Chinese Ehru; the Portuguese Guitarra; the Arabic Flute; the Indian Sitar and of course the Greek Bouzouki.
Pavlo has come full circle since he introduced his Mediterranean brand in 1998, once again recording an All-Instrumental album. Complete with all brand new compositions, this album highlights Pavlo's unmatched ability to melodically unite world instruments into his sound seamlessly, all the while staying true to his distinct Mediterranean guitar signature.
It has never been more convincing, Pavlo is a TRUE WORLD artist, and has become famous for bringing every audience to their feet.
Pavlo continues to tour worldwide performing over 150 shows per year and is still driven by his father's famous words:
"Have the courage to do what you love, and the drive to do it well."
