What do you know about Yanni?

Answer 1

nothing
but this is what i just looked up
Born and raised in Kalamata, Greece, Yanni Hrisomallis (pronounced Chrysomallis, more or less) followed other paths before his music became his primary focus. At age 14 Yanni broke a national swimming record in Greece, and even dreamed of becoming an Olympic swimmer. He came to the United States in 1972 and attended the University of Minnisota, earning a B.A. in psychology. After college, Yanni was the keyboardist for a Minneapolis-based rock band called Chameleon. What happened after that is history. He now has his own recording studio, and has sold over 10 million albums. Being a self-taught musician, Yanni can neither read nor write music, but rather write down his compositions in his own special shorthand. He has perfect pitch, and composes all of his own music.

Most of his albums have been on the Private Music record label, but is now signed with Virgin Records/EMI. He has done numerous TV and feature film soundtracks, plus other projects such as music for commercials. He divides his time between L.A. and the Seattle, WA area, and is now an American citizen. He was born on November 14, 1954.

Yanni's Current Plans: He's taking a break from touring and recording. No tour dates are apparently forthcoming until at least 2000. Which means, of course, he's not touring at all in 1999.

About Linda Evans: He dated the actress for several years, but in early 1998, they issued a statement saying they had broken up. This apparently was a friendly parting. Of course, we all appreciate their privacy, so I hope we'll just leave this issue alone from now on.

Where He Lives: He has at least a couple of homes... most recent somewhere in Florida (no, I don't know where), plus L.A. in California. He used to live near Seattle, but I don't know if he still does.

No, He Didn't Shave His Hair: There was a rumor suggesting Yanni shaved his hair short... no one has confirmed that, and if I remember correctly, it was denied by people "in the know."

Answer 2

Things I know about Yanni:

1. He's Greek.
2. He has long flowing hair and a moustache.
3. He's a 'new age' music composer and performer.
4. He has a slew of videos of himself in concert for sale.
5. He's often billed as "Yanni, Live at the Acropolis."
6. He recently had domestic battery charges brought against him by his wife.

And that is everything that I know about Yanni.

Answer 3

Yanni Domestic Abuse

Answer 4

He is a piano player (but not classical), and I heard in the 1990s he was (at that time) engaged with Linda Evans ("Chrystal" from TV-Series "Denver Clan")

"Yanni" is a greek name, but I bet he is really american and only pretends he is greek, because that might be successfull in his business. But this is only speculation of mine.

Answer 5

He dated Linda Evans

Answer 6

when i hear Yanni - The Storm 2004 in YouTube.

Answer 7

He is a homophobic hobbit and is often cited as being Hitler's right hand man. He was going to be brought up on war crimes in the 60's, but he started playing soothing music using only his skin flute and an inflatable anotomically correct "love sheep" and it put the entire courtroom to sleep. He then fled to Bolivia and pollutes the world with his trashy, yet oh so soothing, music. I hear he also has a Hampster farm...

Answer 8

Hmmm...I know that at one time he was charged w/ domestic abuse; not sure if the charges were dropped or not.
But the allegation was enough to make me never want to hear his music again! It just seemed to be so contradictory---that soothing music, coming from a wife-beater....

Answer 9

He's a wood instrument player who likes to hit women. So I heard on the news.

Answer 10

He is Greek and makes some beautiful music with his piano and orchestra. What else does one need to know??

Chow!!
