Dimitris Basis: Christos Nikolopoulos Grounded Me in My Early Career

Dimitris Basis spoke about the crucial support he received from Christos Nikolopoulos in his early musical career. Basis emphasized that Nikolopoulos had the ability to ground him when success began to offer a sense of excess, something he considers very important for an artist. He noted the need to be selective about the proposals he accepted, choosing those that represented him and helped him chart his own course. The singer explained that it was important not to be carried away by success, as this could lead to wrong choices and distance the artist from his authentic identity. The presence of people who grounded him was, according to him, essential to maintain his balance and continue to create consistently. Basis mentioned that Nikolopoulos often told him, "Basis, now the hard work begins," even when he was experiencing the beginning of his success. This advice helped him face the challenges that followed with realism and determination. His relationship with Christos Nikolopoulos was therefore crucial to his artistic development, offering him not only support but also the necessary guidance to remain true to himself and his art.
