Early life
Nikodimos Kabarnos was born in May 14, 1980 in Plomari, Lesbos. He grew up in Mytilene, where he completed his secondary education. He is the firstborn child in a large Greek family. He studied Byzantine music under the protopsaltes (leading cantor) George Michalis. He became a professional cantor when he was 13 years old, and at the age of 15 received an award in Byzantine music from the Greek Ministry of Education. He subsequently moved to Athens.[3][4]
