Started studying music theory and classical piano from the age of 8, later on Amanati developed a passion for electronic music and club culture from his teenage years, which would later play a significant role, blending with his classical music background but also with Greek folk influences, into shaping his sound. Following his passion for electronic music, Amanati started learning how to produce music at the age of 17, a few years after his first encounters with DJing, mainly at friends birthday parties as a 14 year old boy. Using different stage names through the spectrum of House, Progressive and Techno genres, Amanati released more than 50 singles and performed as a DJ in Greece, Netherlands and Belgium till the age of 31, when he decided to move on to something new, that would represent his vision in terms of sound and visuals without limitations, best described today as Exotic Electronic Music. Amanati has become a figure of mystery in the eyes of the public, emphasizing in the idea that gender, race, ethnicity and appearance, are not defining the artist or human. Amanatis sound has become a symbol of creative power, raw expression, sensuality and freedom, being embraced by pole and fusion dancers, movement artists, and music lovers all around the world.
