Harry G. was born in Chicago, USA in 1977. His family moved to South Africa in 1983 and eventually to Filiatra, Greece in 1989. After completing his sophomore year at the world renowned Filiatra high school, Harry moved back to Chicago with his family.

Harry started playing the bouzouki in 1994 after being inspired by his cousins in Greece who had been playing the bouzouki and guitar for a couple of years by that time. Since then, Harry has been playing, researching and analyzing all aspects of the Greek bouzouki. In 2003 Harry's company Folk Creations, Inc. launched www.BouzoukiDVD.com. The instructional DVD set that is marketed and sold on www.BouzoukiDVD.com includes knowledge amassed throughout the years on every conceivable aspect of the Greek bouzouki. Harry felt the need to create a comprehensive tutorial that would guide the novice bouzouki player through the basic, intermediate and advanced concepts of the instrument.

Harry plays both the Tetrachordo and the Trichordo bouzoukia, as well as, the Baglama, the Tzoura, the Oud and the Dumbek (Touberleki). He is a well known Bouzouki teacher in the greater Chicagoland area and he gives private lessons on a weekly basis.

Harry holds a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, along with a Minor in Mathematics and a Minor in Computer Science.

Harry has worked in the Telecommunications industry for 6 years as a hardware/software development engineer for companies such as Motorola and Andrew Corp. In 2001 Harry completed his Masters in Electrical Engineering from National Technological University and in 2005, he completed his 2nd Masters degree in Financial Mathematics from the University of Chicago. He is currently working as a Quant for a proprietary trading firm in Chicago.

In his spare time, Harry can be found playing Bouzouki at weddings, baptisms and other related events in the Chicagoland area. He is particularly fond of the Rebetiko genre of music and his all time favorite bouzouki player is Zabetas.
