Gkogko Percussion

About Me

Hi, I am Panagiotis Gkogkomitros, known as Gkogko in the Greek Music Industry.

After playing many years at several cities and stages all over Greece and abroad with famous Greek singers, I am now based in the beautiful island of Santorini, where the stunning sunsets and vibrant atmosphere provide the perfect backdrop for my musical journey. My passion for music ignited in my early childhood, where I began to teach myself percussion, driven by an insatiable curiosity and a desire to create rhythm. This relentless pursuit of musical excellence led me to take on small jobs to fund my music lessons, affirming my commitment to my craft. Finally, I studied at a private Music School in Athens, where I honed my skills and graduated with my degree, majoring in percussion, which equipped me with both theoretical knowledge and practical expertise. Having attended and performed at big festivals and concerts over the past years, I am now eager to share my passion and talent with you to create unforgettable moments on your special day. Let’s highlight your event with the unique and captivating vibes of percussion that can evoke emotions and energize the atmosphere. Whether you want to make a grand and impressive couple's entrance with vibrant oriental, African, or Indian rhythms or entertain you and your guests with relaxing lounge beats during cocktail hour, I can tailor my performance to suit every moment of your celebration. I can also accompany your favorite party songs across various genres, whether it’s house, jazz, African, Indian, Greek, oriental, Latin, pop, or mainstream, ensuring a diverse and exhilarating musical experience. For a memorable wedding entrance, I can create a unique atmosphere that resonates with your love story. In my performance, I have a variety of percussion instruments at my disposal, allowing me to craft an engaging experience, whether it’s delivering a standing ovation with powerful congas or creating an interactive atmosphere on the dance floor with Darbuka, Davul, or Djembe. Together, we can curate a tailor-made program for your event, ensuring that each part is highlighted with the appropriate instrument and set-up, leaving a lasting impression on you and your guests.
