Dimtris Kyriakidis comes from Kavala, Greece. His love for musical knowledge led him to travel in his 20s to various places in Greece and the UK until he settled in Doncaster (South Yorkshire - UK) as a guitar teacher. He has participated in some rock & hard-rock groups until in 2010 he released his first single Air-Hunt, which has been getting very positive feedback from people in various countries. Air-Hunt is the result of working with Flaming Rose, a short-lived rock-fusion band that Dimitris formed in his University years. 2011 finds him cooperating with singer Goran Edman (mostly known through his collaborations with Yngwie Malmsteen and John Norum) on some of the material of his upcoming album. Currently, he focuses on releasing his new material, doing some session work, as well as teaching privately in the area of Doncaster.

He writes music in which influences from several styles are frequently fused. His influences come from Greg Howe, Tony McAlpine, Yngwie Malmsteen, Michael Romeo, Joey Tafolla, George Lynch, Vinnie Moore, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Allan Holdsworth, TNT, Europe, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Firehouse, Dokken, Bon Jovi, Warrant, White Lion, Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd and many more rock/heavy metal bands. Influences originate also from the field of jazz and classical music. Most important for him are Wagner, Creston, Weber, J.S. Bach, Sibelius, Saint- Saens, Piston, Barber, Tchaikovsky and Grofe just to name a few.
