Konstantinos Pantelidis: "My mother tells me to make Pantelis proud"

By 1 year ago

Konstantinos Pantelidis was a guest on the show "Truths with Zina" and talked about his late brother, Pantelis Pantelidis, and his love for music and entry as a professional singer.

The singer initially said about his brother that: "For us, that is, for our family, we have not understood that Pantelis is gone and how can you understand that when his photos are in your house all day long, you listen to his songs in the car and you also sing them in the shops."

Then he added: "I always think about what my brother would say to me in general, not only in business, but also in much simpler everyday things, that is, how he would think about it and how Pantelis would do it."

"As far as professional matters are concerned, he didn't give me any special advice because I was also small," Konstantinos added.

He said in closing that he is very lucky because he has his mother and his big brother by his side.

Regarding the advice his mother gives him, he said: "She tells me to be humble, to respect the people who come and listen to me because they spend money. And above all, the greatest thing is to make Pantelis proud and that's what I'm doing, that's what I'm trying to do."

On 18 February 2016, Pantelis Pantelidis died in Athens in a car crash on Vouliagmenis Avenue, Attica. The 32-year-old was driving a Mercedes W164 ML 63 AMG, just one day before he was set to perform at a well-known Athens night club with Despoina Vandi and Kostas Martakis.

In the car with him were two women, one of them being Mina Arnaouti. The second woman was Froso Kyriakou; both survived with serious injuries. Arnaouti posted photos of the crash afterwards showing a body in the driver's seat.

After his death, two of his songs reached the #1 spot on the Billboard chart "Greece Digital Songs". The two songs being "Ta Shinia Sou" and "Pino Apo 'Ki Psila Gia Sena".

On June 25, Pantelidis' single was released. The single consisted of one unpublished song and one song available on videoclip, though it was planned to be on the CD.

The song Thimamai in YouTube reached over 30,000,000 views. On December 14, 2016, Pantelidis' pre-recorded song "Alli Mia Efkeria" was released via artist's official YouTube channel.

The video gained over 1.1 million views within the two days of its release. After four weeks, the video reached more than 20,000,000 views.
