His early career began with appearances in major nightclubs alongside well-established names in the Greek music scene, such as Tolis Voskopoulos, Makis Christodoulopoulos, Eleni Dimou and Giorgos Alkaios.
In 1998, Kiamos released his first CD entitled Enas Erotas Latria ke Anagki, from which two songs gained distinct popularity: Ola Ya Senane Milane (Horis Nero) and Trelos Ya Sena. In 1999, he released his second CD Den Ise Moni. This was followed in 2000 by Tou Erota Feggaria.
In 2002, Kiamos made significant progress in the northern city of Thessaloniki. The songs Alithina (Truly) and Arketa (Enough) from the CD Tis Nyhtas Oniro (Dream of the Night) became notably popular in the north, and as a result Kiamos' stock rose considerably. The CD To Yelio Sou Klei followed a year later; by this stage, he had become a household name throughout the country, and had gained a reputation for his on-stage energy and enthusiasm.
In 2004, he released a live CD entitled Panos Kiamos Live Sto Fix, which included performances of his own work, as well as various popular hits. The CD was quickly certified gold.
In 2005, Kiamos appeared at "Asteria Glyfadas" - one of the most popular entertainment venues in Athens - with the initial 20 scheduled performances turning into 9 consecutive months (April–January). His performances broke all previous attendance records and sustained performances by a single performer.
His next albums "Eisai pantou" (You're everywhere), "Monima erteumenos" (Permanently in love), "Gyrna se mena" (Return to me), "Gia agapi etimasou" (Get ready for love), "Tha ziso gia mena" (I'll live for myself) became all gold and platinum, with huge hits like "Gyrna se mena", "Anemothiella" (Wind storm), "Ase me mia nihta mono (Leave me for just one night)", "Eisai pantou", "Tha vgaino, tha pino" (I'll go out, I'll drink), "Apopse fora ta kala sou" (Tonight wear your fancy clothes), "Hartorihtra" (Fortune teller), "Sfyrixa kai elixes" (I whistled and you blown), "Eimaste ena" (We're one), "Os ton ourano" (Until the sky), which all have been released on "The best of" album in 2010.
Since March 2010, he regularly performs at "Posidonio Music Hall", and he's the only one singer who manages to fill up the club four times every week.[1]
In April 2011, he released new album with title "Olokainourgios" (Brand new), with a smash hit "Apo deutera" (From Monday). Kiamos performed that song at the 2011 MAD Music Awards, at the closing of the show. He was also nominated for the best lyrics award for his song "Apo deutera", the award which he got in 2010, for another smash hit "Sfyrixa kai elixes".
He's very popular and loved Greek singer, because of his anti-star attitude and his friendly relationship with audience. He worked with some of the most popular Greek authors, like Hristodoulos Siganos, Vasilis Gavrlilidis, Hristos Dantis, Thanos Papanikolaou, Natalia Germanou, Giorgos Sampanis, Nikos Terzis, Tasos Panagis.[2]
Kiamos was born in Athens on 4 October 1975, and spent the rest of his adolescent life in the capital. In 1994, at the age of 18, he passed the entry exams for medical school. However, it was around the same time that he discovered his interest in music, leading to his decision to reject the medical school's offer of a scholarship. He began to learn to play the guitar, and took up music theory lessons.
In 2005, Kiamos met his future wife, Zacharoulla. The pair met while Kiamos was performing at a nightclub in Pireus - after finishing his performance, Zacharoulla - a self-confessed fan of his music - went to the back door to request an autograph. Kiamos continued to perform at the same club, and after several encounters, the pair began a relationship which would remain secret until their marriage six months later.
The couple have two children together - Liana, born in 2008, and Vasilis, born in 2010. On September 1, 2011, their third child, a boy, was born.[3]
Kiamos is a devout Greek Orthodox Christian, and often wears a rosary. His dressing room at Asteria, the nightclub where he regularly performs, has a corner full of religious icons depicting various saints.
