Constantinos
was born in the town of Limassol, Cyprus. At
the age of seventeen, he became the first
Cypriot artist to achieve triple platinum
sales, with an album that was recorded in
Cyprus and not in Athens where the core of
the Greek music industry is located. Within
a very short time he became a big star in
his home-country. In 1996 he represented
Cyprus in the Eurovision song contest in
Oslo, Norway with the ballad “Mono gia mas”
(Only for us) which reached the 9th place.
After Eurovision he launched his career in
Greece. His first collaboration was with
Greece’s biggest stars, Anna Vissi and Sakis
Rouvas, and in 1999 he was chosen by the
successful Cypriot composer, George
Theofanous, to be the lead singer in the
first boy-band of Greece, ONE. ONE became
very popular and commercially successful in
Greece and Cyprus, reaching platinum sales.
In 2002 Konstantinos participated again in
the Eurovision Song Contest in Tallinn,
Estonia, as the leader singer of ONE
representing Cyprus with the song “Gimme”
and reaching the 6th place.
In September 2003, Constantinos started his
solo career with the album “H agapi sou paei”
(Love becomes you). He reached immediately
the No1 in the Greek airplay charts and the
album reached gold sales in Cyprus.
Constantinos is also a very successful
composer and lyricist and he has composed
songs for many famous Greek singers. In
September 2004 he released his second solo
album, “Idiotiki parastasi” (Private show).
The album became gold in Cyprus immediately
and is a great radio hit in Greece.
The CyBC (RIK – Cyprus public television)
assigned Constantinos to be the performer of
the Cypriot entry in the 50th Eurovision
song contest in Kiev, with a self-penned
song, “Ela Ela” (Come baby) a trendy,
energetic, up-tempo song with distinct
ethnic musical elements and a current,
dynamic dance beat, capable of storming
dance-floors around Europe!
ELA ELA (Come Baby)
You ‘re there, I ‘m here
No need to fear
Feel around me the desire
Search my body, reach the fire
Just cross the line
You have no time
My persistence is outrageous
You ‘ll be mine cause I ‘m contagious
Come baby, come baby get the feeling
Come baby, come baby get the feeling
Ela Ela Ela la
I ‘m the King of the night
Let me show you tonight who I am
Ela Ela Ela Ela
Mysterious
Delirious
Let me be the key to passion
Ela is the word for action
ONE - GIMME
Thought that it would be so easy
Thought that I could be alone
But when I'm close to you
I lose my mind
I lose control
(Gimme your loving)
I want you so, I won't let go
Please give me now a sign to move on, oh…
Gimme, gimme, gimme your loving
Far away from you seems like dying
Don't you leave me standing in the dark
Ohoh, gimme, gimme, gimme your loving
Gimme, gimme a chance to make you my girl
Let me be the one to win your heart
Gimme your loving
Thought that everything would be okay
I could live just on my own
(Gimme your loving)
But I want you so, I won't let go
Please give me now a sign to move on, oh |
