Born in Greece, Iannis originally studied architecture at the National Technical University of Athens and pursued a career as an architect, graphic designer, photographer, land artist, and ceramist. However, he always felt that there was something missing, a void in his life that he couldn’t quite identify.

It wasn’t until he discovered the world of overtone singing that everything changed. From the moment he began to explore the intricacies of this fascinating art form, he knew that he had found his calling. He became a student of the voice, studying with some of the most renowned voice teachers in the world, and he quickly developed a deep understanding of the human voice and its potential for healing and transformation.

In 2014, Iannis began teaching voice both in Greece and abroad, sharing his knowledge and passion with others in seminars and workshops in cultural venues, music schools, and conservatories. He became a founding member of the Tsak Bam Festival, a contemporary and spontaneous art festival, and collaborated with interdisciplinary groups of osteopaths, speech therapists, physical therapists, and structures such as:

– The I.M.E. Graçalou Institute for voice sessions with children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities and delays.

– The French non-profit organization Jeunesses musicales de France for overtone singing lessons for primary school students in France.

– The Centre Communal D’Action Sociale CCAS for teaching singing to vulnerable population groups.

– The Jacques Tati, L’Archipel and Hauts de Saint-Aubin cultural centres.

– The open university Université Populaire Albert Jacquard for seminars on overtone singing and sound meditation.

– The French public education within the Temps d’Activités Périscolaires for polyphonic singing courses in French primary schools.

Iannis’s commitment to his work is evident in his extensive studies and certifications, including “BUTEYKO CLINIC INSTRUCTOR” with Patrick McKeown and Buteyko Clinic International, “Neuro-Linguistic Programming” at the Paul Pyronnet Institut, “Chant, Voix et Corps” certified training with Emmanuelle Trinquesse, and “Acoustic Vocal Pedagogy” with Kenneth Bozeman and some of the most respected names in the field.

But it is not just his impressive resume that sets Iannis apart. It is his deep passion and dedication to sharing the precious fruits of overtone singing with the world. He has touched the lives of countless students, both young and old, with his expertise, and his warm and generous spirit.

Amidst a world that can often feel disconnected and devoid of significance, Iannis Psallidakos aspires to be a source of inspiration for anyone searching for their own unique path and purpose in vocal expression.
