Modest presence, discreet voice with manifold possibilities and sound-colours.
He was born in Vasilika of Thessaloniki. After finishing High School he began his studies at the Macedonian Conservatory of Thessaloniki. At the same time, he has been appearing in well-known venues of Thessaloniki and Athens and also participating in concerts throughout Greece.
In 1994, he released his first work in discography, titled: The Eternal Plaint, in music and lyrics by the poet Dinos Christianopoulos.
In 1998 he brought out his second work "With Art and Passion" containing songs of Dinos Christianopoulos and Stavros Kougioumtzis.
From 1994 to 2000, he has been the basic performer of the ERT3 (National RadioTelevision) Symphonic Orchestra with which he has traveled throughout Greece and abroad. He has participated in Miki Theodoraki's concerts in 1995, in Maria Farantouri's at Odeon of Herodus Atticus in 2001 etc. Recently, in October 2004, he sang along with Manolis Mitsias at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall at the tribute titled "The Nobel Prize in Greek Song".
In 2000 he appeared on ET3 television with the show "Lyrics...and Music", whereas today he is a regular associate (well known radio producer) of the 9,58 - the cultural radio station of the Greek National Radio Station.
Since 2001 Dimitris Nikoloudis has chosen the difficult path of personal projects - productions, accompanied by his own ensemble, with subjects and material which he chooses and edits himself. Till today he has accomplished a tribute in the work of Manos Loizos, a very important Greek composer, the musical performance "The third bell-the everlasting greek theatre songs" and this year a tribute to the great Greek composer Manos Hatzidakis, to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of his death.
