Endy Cor studied there for only one year, because he moved to live in Athens, Greece, so he continued his education on individual basis, using the distance learning program.

Music career:
First attempt in music recording:

The bad moments of his life reflected on his career and made the sound of the music that he composes more emotional, passionate and a bit melancholic yet full of hope and joy.

To save money so he could record a song, Endy skipped meals. When he finally had enough money and went to the studio for a recording session, he missed a beat and messed up the rhythm. His first attempt in recording a song was a fail because he didn't have enough money to pay the studio for a make-up record.

Endy Cor confesses that the most inspirational time for him to compose is at night.

In 2012 he becomes one of the youngest Vocal Techniques Coach in Greece.

In October 2014 Endy Cor becomes Conductor of children's choir in "Prep. Paisii Hilendarski" school in Athens.
