He began singin in the age of 20 and after his military service in [[1973]] he went to Munich, Germany to participate and sing in anti-dictatoric commities where many Greeks used to go.

In [[1974]] he met [[Mikis Theodorakis]] in Paris. Their coorparation would start in 2 years. He returned to Athens the same year, and started his professional career. He participated in [[Manos Loizos]]' album "Ta tragoudia tou dromou". The next year he recorded "Ta agrotika" of [[Thomas Bakalakos]]. It was that time when he met [[Manos Loizos]] and [[Thanos Mikroutsikos]], two composers who brought a new sound to Greek music. Vasilis was ideal to express the two artists.

He coorparated for the first time in [[1976]] with [[Mikis Theodorakis]] and 2 years later Mikis Theodorakis, included him in his international tour giving him a chance to sing in Europe, America and Australia .

From that time he started showing his influences from foreign rock, in his first two albums which he recorded in early 80s . The first was titled after his name and included songs from [[Antonis Vardis]] and remakes of [[Dionysis Savvopoulos]] , Mikis Theodorakis and Luis Lach.

The second was titled "Fovamai." Later on he met [[Nikolas Asimos]] and participated in his first album "Xanapes." Asimos was the second person after Manos Loizos who influenced him greatly . In [[1984]] he recorded "Diairesi" establishing his sound in greek music . Vasilis was considered one of the most popular singer's by the middle 80s . In April of [[1985]], 16,000 fans attended his concert in the [[Peace and Friendship Stadium]].

From that point and on, his concerts were considered major events . In late 80s he records "Xorevo." He sang with Nikolas Asimos again in Asimos' album "Falimento tou Kosmou" and later he recorded his new album "Sfentona" . He coorperated with [[Alkis Alkaios]], [[Christophoros Krokidis], [[Vasilis Giannopoulos]], [[Stamatis Mesimeris]], [[Aphrodite Manou]], [[Odysseas Ioannou]] and [[Minos Matsas]] in [[1994]] recording "De Sikonei." In [[1997]] he recorded "Pes mou ena psema n'apokoimitho". Two years later he came back with a softer sound in his new album "Na me fonaxeis" .

His latest work is the coorparation with [[Thanos Mikroustikos]] in the album "Thalassa stin skala."
