When he was 14, he set a Greek record for the 50-meter freestyle swimming. In 1984, his debut album “Optimystique”, was released. In 1986, he released “Keys to Imagination”.

Although his music was often called New Age, he preferred that it be called contemporary instrumental.

Yanni was born November 14, 1954 in Kalamata, Greece, the son of a banker, Sotiri Chryssomallis, and a homemaker, Felitsa (short for Triandafelitsa, which means “rose”). He displayed musical talent at a young age, playing the piano at the age of 6. His parents encouraged him to learn at his own pace and in his own way, without formal music training. The self-taught musician continues to use the “musical shorthand” that he developed as a child, rather than employ traditional musical notation.

Rising in popularity with the new age music boom of the 1980s and 1990s, Yanni’s music became more well known through adult alternative radio airplay, appearances on public television and in television commercials, as well as international music tours. Yanni’s music has been used in television shows and televised sporting events, including the British Open (golf), the Super Bowl, Wide World of Sports, U.S. Open tennis championships, the U.S. Open (golf), the Tour de France, the World Figure Skating Championships and the Olympic Games. He also wrote music for ABC’s World News Now.

In an early-career review in the Dallas Times Herald in the late 1980s, Yanni’s concert with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra was described as “exhilarating, moving and inspiring.” In 1995, The Los Angeles Times’ Don Heckman wrote that Yanni’s music is “based on sweeping romantic melodies underscored with energetic Mediterranean rhythms.” More analytically, the Hartford Courant’s Steve Metcalf “deconstructed” Yanni’s music as being “from a harmonic standpoint, constructed of materials found in a lot of late-19th, early 20th century classical music. It is essentially tonal, tinged with mild whiffs of dissonance here and there, sometimes rhythmically frisky, graspable on first listening, and self-evidently mood-inducing. There are two basic moods to Yanni music: struttingly heroic with martial overtones, and dreamily contemplative … A kind of peaceful, easy-feeling link between pop music and classical music.”

Yanni later explained that learning English forced him to read each paragraph several times in what he called a slow and frustrating process, but which helped him memorize the material and do well on tests. He received a B.A. degree in psychology in 1976.

Yanni formed a band in 1987 and began to tour in 1988 with an ensemble including pianist/singer John Tesh and drummer Charlie Adams, promoting his early albums Keys to Imagination, Out of Silence, and Chameleon Days. A highlight of the tour was a performance with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra that elicited a positive review, considered seminal to Yanni’s public recognition, from a Dallas Times Herald critic. Yanni’s emergence was said to be “timed perfectly” with the growing popularity of contemporary instrumental music. In this time frame, Yanni wrote motion picture soundtracks for Steal the Sky (1988), Heart of Midnight (1988), I Love You Perfect (1989), She’ll Take Romance (1990), When You Remember Me (1990), Children of the Bride (1990), and Hua qi Shao Lin (1994).

While Yanni has said that new age is “a spiritual definition more than a musical definition,” his music is said to be “adopted by” the New Age movement as it gained mainstream momentum. His music is also called contemporary instrumental and has been described as “an instrumental blend of fusion-jazz, world music, classical, and soft rock.” However, at least as early as 1988, Yanni was said to shun labels such as “Greek” and “new age,” emphasizing that “when someone says new age music, I think of something that you put on in the background while you’re vacuuming the house. I don’t want to relax the audience; I want to engage them in the music, get them interested.” Distinguishing his work from what others have called ambient mood music, Yanni pointed out in 1994: “New age implies a more subdued, more relaxed music than what I do. My music can be very rhythmic, very energetic, even very ethnic.”
