Lionder in Athens

Hello, everyone. My name is Lionder and today I'm going to be talking to you about my new song "No Pressure" . I'm very excited that my new song is finally out! I've been working on this for quite a long time. This song is about being pressured. Whether that is peer pressure or family pressure, or pressure from work or anything. It doesn't have a certain theme so everybody can relate to it. I started writing the song back in October. It's a song/video that took me nearly 5 months to create, direct, visualize etc. I'm going to give you a detailed analysis of the music video.  First things first, I'd like to mention that visualizing the video was such. a hard. process. I was literally feeling uninspired. I couldn't think of an idea for the video. My mind was lost, confused and frustrated. I tried to dig and dig and dig a little deeper into my mind just to find an idea for the video but it was so hard. I asked my friends to help me with th

Hello, everyone! My name is Lionder and today I have exciting news for you!  My new song is OUT!!!!!!  Yes, Yes, Yes.  I feel so grateful that it's done and now it's up on the web, available for you to listen to it and watch the video.  Let me just talk a little bit about my experience with Christmas Blue. The whole idea So one day I thought it would be great to release a Christmas song this year but not just another happy Christmas song to dance to and have fun. I had a very special purpose in my mind for this song. I wanted it to be about depression.  I didn't know anything about Christmas depression, I hadn't heard of it anywhere or maybe I didn't remember having heard of it in the past but when I thought to myself "Christmas Depression" it sounded right and logical. Then I started thinking about it and I concluded that it is a fact that people might feel depressed at Christmas. After that, I searched about it and I found out that it is a t

Hey, guys. Today I've got exciting news to share with you!!! My new song is out on YouTube and I am super happy to be able to finally share it with you!!! It's called "Can't Stop Dancing" and it's about someone who's in love and just can't stop dancing when he/she looks at the person he/she loves. "You've got a fancy beat and I can't control my feet" "I can feel your energy from the way you look at me" I had so much filming and editing this video. I filmed with my friends who really made the filming session wonderful and also a great friend of mine, Fay E. who danced in the video. It was a blast working with Fay E. once again, it is always a blast. I'd like to Thank DJ ANTIBASSIS for producing the music. Every time I work with Antibassis I have so much fun! I really have no words to express how much thankful and happy I am to work with him. He's a talented young music producer who's always eage

This is my new song -Antio- (Which means "Goodbye" in Greek).  The Story behind it:  A beloved aunt of mine passed away in the middle of March in 2016 and the same day she died, pain was so deep that I wanted to express it in a paper. So, I wrote this Greek song.  and I uploaded it on her birthday: March 5th It's so hard losing someone you love and it's even harder to go back to the time that you lost that person. That's why I was never in the mood to write this blog post.  That woman was a very lovely woman, had a very lovely soul and the only thing I remember the most is that I've always seen her smiling. There was always a smile on her face, I've never seen her the other way.  A month after I wrote this song, I wrote 3 poems for her in 2 hours in her 40 day memorial.  The feeling that you feel when someone has just died -the atmosphere, the air, everything- is the worst feeling I have ever experienced.  About the video:  We did the

My new song is ouuuuuuutt!!!! Yeah!  I'm super excited.. Today is beautiful... Life is wonderful.. My heart is beating like the roses do photosynthesis.. okay, I lost it.. Yeah, my friends.. My new song is out and my video clip too and I'm so glad that you are finally able to watch it, 'cause I really worked hard for it and it would mean the world to if you like it.... So, here it is.. watch it, like it (if you do) and leave a comment below the video telling me what you think because your opinion matters to me..  So, lemme do some explainin' The video starts with me, washing my face, looking at the mirror and then BAM! The self (the one that's in the mirror) talks to me. Obviously, I was hurt or stressed because I was let down for one more time [or bullied (you name it)] and I wash my face and then myself reminds me that I have to be confident, proud and get my bitch mode on....  When I say "get my bitch mode on" I don't mean the insul

I've got exciting news to share with you and that's the release of my new soooong!!! I'm super happy about this moment. I just feel great!  A few facts about my new song: Even though, I'm not going to share with you the title of my new song, I'm going to talk to you about it and give you as many information as I can.  It's a song about self-confidence. And that you can understand from the official teaser #1.. In the official teaser, there is exclusive footage from this official video clip so it's like you've watched 23 seconds of the music video already haha.  It's a song that means a lot to me and that's because 1) It's a POP song of mine. Usually, I upload acoustic ballads or Edm - dubstep tunes. Not everything I release is POP. But I love pop and I'm so happy that this brand new single is a pop track. 2) It's written about such a wonderful thing which CONFIDENCE. Being proud of who you are, being happy with yoursel

I'm so happy to announce that my new song is finally out! I've been waiting so much for this moment, it's the happiest moment of this week. My new song BROOKLYN is out and is a speacial collaboration between me and the one and only  DJ Antibassis. You can watch it here!!! AI wrote that song on January 17th of 2016 and some months later I wrote a Greek Version of it (which we're not going to talk about now). I had planned since then that I wanted to put it out on October of this year so I just really made my goal come true. After the release of my song "Hot Outside" with Antibassis, I knew that I had to collaborate with him, I knew he was the right person. And so we did! The whole process was an absolute fun. The biggest part of a collaboration is when the collaborators can communicate well and fine. I did the video-shooting with my best friend Nick who always helps me whenever I need him and my best friend Eleni who agreed to be a part of it and

Hey, guys. How are you? I hope you're super well. I'm writing in this blog from an internet cafe-kinda place while trying to render my new project-music video for my new song BROOKLYN. And yes, there is a new song coming out TODAY. Isn't that exciting news? I've worked so hard for it and I just can't wait to see it online and hear what you guys think of it. There is a strange but totally understable bond that we, creators, feel with our creations. Everytime i make a video, I just feel the same way I would feel with my child. It's just the same way. I'm stressed, wanting everything to go as planned and okay, I need no errors and procrastinations. I don't want to lose my projects and I wish the best for them. Just the way I'd feel for my child.      For example, now I was in the middle of saving my project for my new video and the system -ish shut down! So, I lost the process. And I have to do everything again. Not edit the video because thank g

Hello, everyone!  Okay, I've got exciting news for you!  My new song "Best Friend" is OUT NOW!!!  Hooray!  I wrote a song about one of the most important people in my life; my best friend, Katerina. She means the world to me and surely has played a significant role in who I am today. She is like a sister to me and I am like a brother to her. I love her so much so I wrote a song about her and released it on her birthday; on 2/8/2016.  Get to know us a little more.  We're friends since 2012 and since then she's always been a true, loyal friend to me. She's my soulmate and we both have a secret magic power. We can read each others' mind. It doesn't always work but it happens a lot of times. I also mention that on the lyrics of the song: I can write a whole essay about my best friend and I can write a whole album about her. So, I won't say more about her because you'll be reading this entry until tomorrow. Haha I would love

Hello, everyone!  My new song is out now!  Go see it, download it!!!  http://lionder.bandcamp.com/track/hot-outside Hooray, I am so happy.  A little story about it. I wrote that song the previous summer and the first person that got to listen to it was my brother. This year, after having my song "For Peace" remixed by Antibassis, I asked him to help me with "Hot Outside" and he gladly did!  Video Shooting I asked a friend of mine and my best friend, Nick, to help with the video shooting and it went pretty cool.    The first video shooting day, we spent 4 hours because we did it in beach full of people who would cross the way in front of the camera so we had to wait and try again, wait and try again, wait and try again. Even though it was a tiring process that didn't really ended with a lot of footage, video shooting with your friends is great. I mean, when I'm all alone, I don't have fun at all.  I try to stay focused and when something
