Early life

Work
In September 1991 Terzides published his own magazine “In Rock” the first monthly review of the Greek independent music community. Its publishing boosted the publishing of a series of new magazines, as it was the first free press magazine to be distributed all over Greece. He also established his own company “Rock Management” specializing in public relations, music management, event organization and music production. In 2001 he takes over the representation and the organization of concerts for artists such as Dimitris Poulikakos, Lakis Papadopoulos, George Pilali, Vangelis Germanos, Anoihti Thalassa until the spring of 2003. It is at this time, he decides to leave the rest of the projects and to exclusively undertake the management of Nikos Vourliotis (NiVo) his band Goin’Through and Family the Label. In the fall of 2003 he publishes “Hood” the first free press magazine for Hip Hop & RnB culture. The publishing of the “Hood” and “In Rock” comes to an end in 2005. In 2003, Terzides publishes the book “Hip Hop Don’t Stop” by Oxy Publications. The book covers the Greek hip hop scene from its very beginning until the period of its publication. It was classified as “the most commercial book of the year 2011” under the category of music.
