Nikos Vertis was born in Gorinchem, Netherlands, and lived there until he was 6 years old. He then moved to Greece and lived there for 10 years before returning to the Netherlands. Two years later he came to Greece to serve the Greek army. There, he met a musician that convinced him to stay in Greece and become a professional singer. In his free time, he likes to paint, play music or watch a DVD movie and relax with his friends. His first performance as a singer in front of an audience was at age 15.

The ANTIPODES FESTIVAL is the cultural arm of the Greek Community of Melbourne, which sees Melbourne’s Greek Quarter transform into one giant free street party, bringing together local and international performers, children’s activities, and food, for a weekend of fun and feasting. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the vibrant multiculturalism of Melbourne and to explore the beauty of Greek culture
