Odysseas I. Konstantinou (Ody icons) is a multidisciplinary artist originally from Cyprus, living in Athens. From a very young age and for fifteen years he was a member of the “Epilogi” choirs, having acquired his first knowledge of music, singing and the stage presence. He studied Acting at Dilos Theater School – Dimitra Hatoupi (2014) while he obtained a Master 2 in Theater Directing and Dramaturgy at the University of Nanterre in Paris (2019). As a songwriter he has composed the songs of the EP and the first album of his personal project ody icons entitled “Drama” and “POLYDRAMA” a project of which he is also the leading singer. He has collaborated as a composer, lyricist or/and artistic collaborator on Tamta’s IDENTITY CRISIS and Marina Satti’s YENNA records.
In the theater field he has worked as an actor, performer, director and dramaturge in productions in Greece, Cyprus and Paris having collaborated with renowned directors. In dance, he collaborates as a dramaturg with the choreographer Elena Antoniou and Panos Malaktos, while in the past he has written texts for performances by Harry Koushos. Currently he is teaching VOICE TRAINING mainly at the Theater School Dilos – Dimitra Hatoupi.
In the music field, the Project with the music family of ody icons was created in 2019 in Paris but has existed since thousands of years ago. Through their theatrical style they created an amalgam of musical genres: Pop meets traditional music, world music meets rock, alternative indie meets the 70’s glam scene.
They have released 2 EPs to date, while in 2023 they released their first full-length album entitled POLYDRAMA with songs mainly in English with some Greek and Cypriot touches. From their appearances at underground Athenian parties to their concerts at the Stavros Niarchos Cultural Foundation and the main stage of Athens Pride in Syntagma, from their collaborations with Onassis Stegi to art and music festivals in Greece and Cyprus, ody icons manage to lure their audience into an unapologetic dance and an exhilarating sadness.
