At the same time, he started writing soundtracks to important plays and documentaries (\u201cAngel Baby\u201d, \u201cAgelastos Petra\u201d, \u201cCleansed\u201d etc.), with the creative and commercial success of \u201c2\u201d, directed and choreographed by Dimitris Papaioannou, being one the most special moments of his career.<\/p>\n<p>With a brand-new record out, called \u201cNeapoly\u201d cowritten with Nikko Patrelakis, K.
