Thomas Chatzioglou (GR)

Founder Rapnroll Records

Thomas Chatzioglou is a multi-disciplinary filmmaker and entrepreneur who has been at the forefront of the Greek urban creative scene since his youth. Born in Athens in 1996, his career began with a deep-seated passion for visual storytelling, leading him to direct numerous music videos and mini-documentaries. By the age of 21, he was already working as a camera operator for a national travel television show, gaining extensive field experience that would later define his cinematic style. A graduate of SAE Creative Media College, he now operates as a freelance filmmaker, blending technical precision with a raw, authentic aesthetic tailored for modern media.

Beyond the lens, Thomas is the founder of Rapnroll.gr, which has grown under his leadership into one of Greece’s largest and most influential hip-hop media brands. Recognizing the need for a dedicated platform for urban culture, he expanded the brand’s reach by establishing Rapnroll as a record label, providing a 360-degree ecosystem for artists that encompasses news, promotion, and professional production. His work bridges the gap between digital journalism and music industry infrastructure, making him a pivotal figure in the documentation and commercial growth of Greek hip-hop.

He is a key advocate for the professionalization of the domestic urban scene, utilizing his platform to provide visibility to emerging talent while maintaining high standards of visual and editorial content.

His perspective is driven by the synergy of sight and sound, rooted in the belief that a strong visual identity is essential for musical impact. He is particularly focused on how independent media and labels can leverage high-quality filmmaking to elevate local subcultures into mainstream cultural movements.
