  • Jessie Hillel

    She would listen attentively to the car stereo on her way to crèche and surprise everyone by singing the songs she heard to her family. She performed her first song - Jimmie Rodgers' Waiting for a Train - when she was three. It proved challenging for her parents to find a music teacher who would offer music lessons to someone so young. Having convinced one of the teachers who offered to help that she can pick up music notes by listening despite not being able to read, Jessie started singing lessons when she turned five.

    From genre-crossing projects with jazz legends Michael Brecker and Joshua Redman, to an innovative e-book scoring collaboration with Salman Rushdie, from an unforgettable recording session with the Grand Mufti in Paris's Grand Mosque, to a Billboard classical-chart-topping album with System of a Down front-man Serj Tankian, John's musical journey weaves through myriad genres, and has moved concert audiences in more than 50 countries on all 7 continents (yes, even Antarctica). Early career collaborations included working with such international luminaries from the classical world. Then followed a period of intense creative exploration in the worlds of electronica and jazz, and a series of mega-projects (such as scoring much of the opening ceremony of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games). All of which has led to an explosion of first-hand collaborations with artists from dozens of musical traditions spanning Asia, Europe, North and South America, Africa, and Australasia. John’s projects now integrate the many strands of this creative journey and much of his recent work has social and historical commentary at its core. Most recently, the epic and experimental WWI commemorative work No Man’s Land involved filming and integrating 150 musicians from more than 25 different countries. The works of this Greek New Zealand composer now emerge from a dazzling 21st-century backdrop, where dynamic collaboration with creative masters from all corners of the physical and artistic globe result in outcomes that are visionary, moving, and inspired. John's music has achieved a level of international success unprecedented in New Zealand history, and he is also now considered one of the three most important living composers of the Greek Diaspora.
