Stamatis is a Greek-South African composer, performer, multi-instrumentalist and MD. Their music ranges from film and theatre soundtracks to R&B/Soul and jazz.
They’re currently working as Musical Supervisor for AIDA Cruises, and developing original work with actor and creative Olivier Sublet, in collaboration with Global Mosaic Foundation.
They just finished working on the score and sound design for SEAL BOY, directed by Sean Turner (also starring Olivier Sublet). SEAL BOY marks the second collaboration between Sean and Stamatis, their first being A Midsummer Night’s Dream (starring Kerry Ellis, Jonathan Hyde, Dan Burton and Milly Zero).
In-between, they’re writing and producing an R&B/Soul album with Rae Morgan for their band, Rae & the Seraphim; gigging around London as a pianist/vocalist/saxophonist for The Bakelites jazz band; and working on solo music.
Stamátis started performing live when they were 14 years old, playing piano and singing in a 10-piece jazz band with their parents. They started writing music at an early age and quickly knew they wanted to write film scores and play jazz.
After studying music at the Ionian University in Corfu, Greece, they got accepted into a two-year accelerated vocational Musical Theatre course at The Musical Theatre Academy (The MTA) in London. Since graduating, they’ve been working as a drama/singing teacher, writing music for podcasts and short films, playing and performing in cabarets and sailing around the world working as Musical Supervisor for AIDA Cruises.
They were also a student of legendary jazz teacher and pianist Dr Barry Harris until his passing in 2021.
They’re represented by JBR Creative Management.
Stamátis is non-binary and their pronouns are they/he.
