George
Pallikaris originally hails from Thessaloniki, one of the
largest cities in northern Greece. George was first introduced
to music at a very young age. By the age of 4 he was already
training to play the piano. Although he was studying the likes
of Jean Michelle Jarre and Vangelis he was also composing
music on his first synthesizer. Once George reached his teen
years, he got very involved with early dance music buying
house and techno records and playing them for his friends.
After graduating from high school, G. Pal stepped in a
direction away from music for about 4 years. So instead, he
chose to pursue the subject of physics. While in the
University, G. Pal slowly drifted back to his true passion,
musical production. If it wasn't for this almost complete
musical void G. Pal may never have gotten so determined to
earn a living producing music. After a few years of developing
his skills composing and producing tracks, G. Pal decided to
move to New York City so that he could pursue a degree in
music technology. According to G. Pal, he would have stayed in
Greece, but not one of the schools offered a degree similar to
the one available through NYU. And frankly, it is tough to
argue with George's thinking. After all, there can't be a
better time to get a degree in music technology. This
educational experience, combined with his own interest in
studio gear, hardware and software puts George way ahead of
your average dance music producer. While attending NYU, George
started shopping his tracks around the end of 1997. About a
year later, a decent amount of respectable labels were
knocking on his door. Soon after his first commercial record
release, a double pack on the UK's prestigious Low Pressings
label, he started preparing material for labels. On a cold
night in November at Mike Bryant's Friday night party, G. pal
brought a demo down for Plastic City A+R Rick Salzer. "As soon
as G.Pal gave me the demo, I told him I owned his first record
and was still playing it." After some small discussions, both
parties agreed that G. Pal should join the UCMG NY artist
roster. Aside from multiple EPs coming on both the Plastic
City and FiJi labels, G.Pal will also be doing a few remix
projects as well as work on his full-length studio album for
Plastic City.
