Artemios "Demis" Ventouris-Roussos emerged in the ‘70s with Greek progressive rock band Aphrodite's Child before embarking on a solo career. His style incorporates sophisticated orchestral arrangements alongside his deep, vulnerable vocals—which tell tales of romantic intent over a backdrop heavily influenced by ethnic Greek music. Roussos generated phenomenal sales across Europe with tracks such as the lovelorn "We Shall Dance" and the heartfelt strains of “Forever and Ever”, leaving a significant legacy.
