About the artist

Vangelis

JON & VANGELIS: The Dynamic Duo from Down Under When it comes to eclectic collaborations in the music industry, few can rival the magical partnership of Jon Anderson and Vangelis. Hailing from opposite ends of the globe - with Jon representing the UK and Vangelis calling Greece home - these two musical masterminds joined forces in the late 70s to create a sound that was truly out of this world. Jon, best known as the lead singer of progressive rock band Yes, brought his ethereal vocals and poetic lyrics to the table, while Vangelis, a pioneering electronic composer, added his futuristic synth-driven soundscapes to the mix. The result? A sonic journey unlike anything else in the music landscape at the time. Their debut album, "Short Stories," released in 1980, catapulted them to international stardom with its infectious melodies and otherworldly arrangements. Tracks like "I Hear You Now" and "State of Independence" became instant classics, showcasing the duo's undeniable chemistry and innovative approach to music-making. But it wasn't just their musical prowess that set Jon & Vangelis apart - it was also their quirky personalities and offbeat sense of humour that endeared them to fans worldwide. Whether they were playfully teasing each other in interviews or experimenting with unconventional instruments in the studio, Jon & Vangelis always kept audiences on their toes. Despite their brief tenure as a duo, Jon & Vangelis left an indelible mark on the music world that continues to inspire artists to this day. So if you're in the mood for a musical adventure like no other, look no further than the wondrous world of Jon & Vangelis.
