Yanni's unique keyboard
style is both unusual and exciting. thus having the, two elements
that have led to his success in the realm of adult-alternative
radio. Yanni's explosive, upbeat instrumentals and romantic pianistic
ballads also make him a popular touring and recording artist.
In addition
to his television, commercial, and film scores, Yanni's music
has been used extensively on programs like Wide World of Sports
and coverage of the Olympic Games. This area of his career seems
especially appropriate if you consider that his early success
was not a a musician but, as a member of the Greek National
Swimming Team, breaking the national freestyle record at age
14.

a degree in psychology from the University of Minnesota before
indulging himself into music. It didn't take long for the self-taught
keyboardist and composer to establish himself. As a studio musician,
Yanni wrote jingles, while composing and producing as well.
After gaining an impressive 'stand alone' for his first independently
released album, Yanni was recognized and signed by Private Music
and has since become one of the label's best-selling artists.

relationship with actress Linda Evans, which gained him coverage
on programs like Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and appearances
on the daytime talk-shows.
