Antonis Mikelis:

Bass. Born on the small but picturesque island of Milos in Greece, his first introduction to music was classical piano. However, it didn’t really make sense to him until he picked up the guitar and began writing his own songs, “That’s when I realised what music was all about.” He reached the bass via a seemingly endless list of instruments he can play.

He moved to the UK to pursue a Music Technology degree and find a fertile environment for his musical ideas. Upon completing his studies, he moved to London where he met the rest of ABOVE. “I felt like I was already playing in this band. I could have written these songs!”

His calm, understated and affable demeanour, in the tradition of some of music’s finest bass players, hides a consummate musician. “That’s how I am,” is all he says.
