Light

The most streamed of Greek rappers, Christian Ioannidis aka Light was born in Thessaloniki on January 24, 1995. In 2012, he was discovered at the age of 17 by Ypochthonios and has been collaborating with Capital Music ever since. His debut EP released in 2015, entitled Nero Greco, was followed by two collaborations with Snik, "Tony Montana" and "Gucci Mane", which were a big hit on the platforms. In 2017 followed the album Primo with several acclaimed tracks, which turned the rapper into a businessman creating his own clothing line. Among the Primo singles, the hit "Mosca" won Best Hip-Hop Video at the Mad Video Music Awards in 2019, where Light appeared on stage in a standout number with Capital Music artists. Known as far afield as the United States, where basketball player Giannis Antetokonombo did his publicity, Light released the album Supernova in 2020, produced with Hawk and certified platinum. In 2021, he explodes the charts with the album Immortale, certified double platinum and reissued in a deluxe edition. The album generates over one hundred and twenty million listens on platforms. The following album, Romeo, released in 2022, proved another success, despite an onstage altercation with Snik at the Mad Video Music Awards. However, in 2024, the rapper returned with the mixtape No Cap, from which the hit "Once in a Lifetime" was taken.
