Yannis Philippakis Life

Yannis Philippakis (born 23 April 1986) is the lead singer and guitarist of the British indie rock band Foals.

Early life

Born to a Greek father and a South African Jewish mother, Philippakis lived in Greece until he was 4 years old when his family moved to South Africa. After living there for a year, his parents divorced. Every summer Philippakis would visit his father in Olympos on the Greek island Karpathos. His father played a significant role in his life regarding music, teaching him traditional Greek songs. Philippakis was raised in the Greek Orthodox religion.

Education

Philippakis was educated at Magdalen College School. There he had met all of the requirements for an assisted place at Magdalen, where he had taken classes on French, literature, and art. While attending school, Philippakis faced many difficulties due to his father's absence; he would get into trouble with the teachers and was ill-tempered. This led to his being suspended twice. Philippakis then went on to study English literature at St John's College, Oxford; he dropped out before completing his degree to focus on the band.

Yannis Philippakis Career

Career

After the breakup of his former band The Edmund Fitzgerald, which also featured his Foals bandmate, drummer Jack Bevan, Philippakis formed FOALS in 2005 with friend and former Youthmovies frontman Andrew Mears.

Philippakis expressed his desire to write a 'ballet with beats' in a BBC 6 hub session interview.

Philippakis appeared and was interviewed in the film Anyone Can Play Guitar in 2010.

Philippakis produced the song "Wolf" on Trophy Wife's 2011 EP Bruxism.

Philippakis founded MILK, a monthly club night in south London, in January 2018. Special guests are kept private until the night of the performance, making each night unique. Every night at MILK is documented and made available on vinyl in limited numbers for purchase at the following month's performance. "I want to make a club night that me and my friends would love to attend," Philippakis said. In the hopes of the surprising, the life affirming, and the downright dirty, the night appears to be a sort of dream collider of various musicians.

CamelPhat, a Grammy-nominated producer pair, and Philippakis appeared in "Hypercolour" in 2020. In an interview with Forbes, the Liverpool pair claimed to be "longtime supporters of Foals" and that they "have always been on [their] list to collaborate with."

CamelPhat unveiled the official visualizer on their YouTube channel a month after the initial launch of "Hypercolour." Philippakis, a singer from Kit Moneith, and Philippakis himself appear in the video itself against a backdrop of vibrant psychedelic images and kaleidoscopic scenes.

In an adaptation of Marguerite Duras' Moderato Cantabile, directed by Alexander Zeldin, he appeared as an actor.
