George originally hails from Thessaloniki, the largest city of northern Greece. He was first introduced to music at the very young age of 4, when he was already training to play the piano! After developing his skills composing and producing his own tracks, George moved to New York City to pursue a degree in music technology. While attending courses to obtain the NYU's degree, he concluded his first commercial record release on UK's Low Pressings label around the beginning of 1999. Very soon, he joined the UCMG NY artist roster, decision that allowed him to release various singles for Plastic City - including his critically acclaimed debut album "Life".
Meanwhile, George had to return to Greece to do his military service for the Greek army! It was however this obligation that gave him the opportunity to found his own label "Swift Records" in 2001. Since then, things got in a row for G.Pal who still manages to compile various "tasks" at the same time, including:
The tireless production material for his own label, through the intense cooperation with Klik Records - inside Greece - and Intergroove UK - outside Greece.
The radio show for Athens' "Best 92.6" (www.bestradio.gr) radio station every Saturday night from 1-2 after midnight.
The monthly residency at LUV club in Athens, alongside his wife Anna Maria Harokopou (aka A.M.X.) and the rest of Swift Recs' friends - Christian Cambas, Stel, Nick & John Dalagelis, Mikele, DJ Tim, Mr. Roussos and others...and last, but not least...
The family! Especially, his daughter Maria Eleni, whom he keeps calling the "meaning of my life"...

My father took me to the Minecraft city
To see a Minecraft band
He said, son, when you find diamonds
Would you be the hero of Minecraft
The hecked, and the darned?
He said, will you defeat them
The creepers and all the mobs and hackers?
Because one day I'll craft you
A pickaxe to lead you in the mineshaft
To join the block parade
When I was a young player
My father took me to the Minecraft city
To see a Minecraft band
He said, son, when you find diamonds
Would you be the hero of Minecraft
The hecked, and the darned?
Sometimes I get the feeling
Notch’s building over me
And other times I feel like I should leave
And through it all
The build and fall
The diamonds in the caves
And when you leave, we want you all to know
We'll mine on, we'll mine on
And though you've left and logged off
Your Minecraft friends will mine on
We'll mine on
And in my world I can't contain it
The note blocks won't explain it
A world that sends you gliding
From crazy Minecraft dreams
The zombies and spiders will kill us all
So mine it up
And take the ore
Let's build it big and square
Defiant to the end
We hear the call
To mine on
We'll mine on
And though you've left and logged off
Your Minecraft friends will mine on
We'll mine on
And though you've left and logged off
Your Minecraft friends will march
On and on, we carry through the caves
(Oh, oh, oh)
Disappointed skins of your friends
(Oh, oh, oh)
Take a look at me
'Cause I could not mine at all
Do or die
You'll never kill me
Because the world
Will never take my ore
You can try
You'll never kill me
We mine it all
We want to play this game
I won't explain
Or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed
I'm gonna show my sword
Give a cheer
For all the players
Listen here
Because it's who we are
I'm just a steve
I'm not a hero
Just a noob who had to sing this song
I'm just a Steve
I'm not a hero
I don't care
We'll mine on
We'll mine on
And though you’ve left and logged off
Your Minecraft friends will mine on
We'll mine on
And though you've been killed in the game
Your Minecraft friends will march on
Do or die
You'll never kill me
Because the world
Will never take my ore
You can try
You'll never kill me
We mine it all
We want to play this game
Do or die (we'll mine on)
You'll never kill me (we'll mine on)
Because the world (we'll mine on)
Will never take my ore
You can try
You'll never kill me
We mine it all
We want to play this game (we'll mine on)

When I was a young player
Back in my early days of playing Minecraft
My father took me to the Minecraft city
My dad brought me to a bustling Minecraft town
To see a Minecraft band

He said, son, when you find diamonds
He told me, my son, when you discover diamonds in the game
Would you be the hero of Minecraft
Will you become the admired and respected hero within the Minecraft community
The hecked, and the darned?
To battle against all the challenges and difficulties Minecraft throws at you?
He said, will you defeat them
He asked if I will overcome and triumph over
The creepers and all the mobs and hackers?
The menacing creepers, other hostile creatures, and even malicious players
The plans that they have made?

Because in the future, I will create for you

A powerful tool to guide and assist you in mining expeditions
To join the block parade
To become part of the celebration of Minecraft and its community
Sometimes I get the feeling

Notch’s building over me
As if the creator of Minecraft, Notch, is watching over and guiding me
And other times I feel like I should leave
While at times, I contemplate leaving the game
And through it all
Despite everything that happens
The build and fall
The process of constructing and then witnessing destruction
The diamonds in the caves
The valuable diamond resources hidden within dark caves
And when you leave, we want you all to know
And when you eventually depart, we want all players to be aware
We'll mine on, we'll mine on
We will continue to enthusiastically mine and play
And though you've left and logged off
Even if you have exited the game and disconnected
Your Minecraft friends will mine on
Your companions in the Minecraft world will persist
And in my world I can't contain it
Within my personal Minecraft experience, I cannot contain or express it fully
The note blocks won't explain it
The musical note blocks in the game cannot adequately illustrate it
A world that sends you gliding
A realm that makes you feel uplifted and exhilarated
From crazy Minecraft dreams
From the extraordinary dreams and aspirations surrounding Minecraft
The zombies and spiders will kill us all
The relentless zombies and spiders will bring destruction upon us
So mine it up
Therefore, let's gather resources through mining
And take the ore
And collect the valuable ores found underground
Let's build it big and square
Let's construct impressive structures with definite shapes
Defiant to the end
Resisting and remaining defiant until the very last moment
We hear the call
We respond to the summon
To mine on
To continue mining and playing the game
And though you've left and logged off
Even if you have departed and logged out
Your Minecraft friends will mine on
Your friends in the Minecraft community will persevere
And though you've left and logged off
Even if you have left and logged out
Your Minecraft friends will march
Your friends in the Minecraft community will keep moving forward
On and on, we carry through the caves
Continuously and resolutely proceeding through the dark passageways
(Oh, oh, oh) Disappointed skins of your friends
The saddened appearances of your friends' characters
(Oh, oh, oh) Take a look at me
Pay attention to me
'Cause I could not mine at all
Because I was unable to mine anything
Do or die
Persist and fight until the end
You'll never kill me
You will never be able to defeat me
Because the world
Since the Minecraft world
Will never take my ore
Will never strip me of my valuable resources
You can try
You can attempt
We mine it all
We extract all the valuable ores
We want to play this game
We have a strong desire to continue enjoying this game
I won't explain
I will not clarify
Or say I'm sorry
Or offer apologies
I'm unashamed
I am proud and unembarrassed
I'm gonna show my sword
I will proudly display my weapon
Give a cheer
Offer a loud shout of celebration
For all the players
In praise of every individual who plays this game
Listen here
Pay attention to these words
Because it's who we are
Because this is our identity
I'm just a steve
I am simply a player character named Steve
I'm not a hero
I am not a legendary figure
Just a noob who had to sing this song
Just a newbie who felt compelled to perform this song
We'll mine on
We will continue to mine and play the game
We'll mine on
We will persist in mining and playing
And though you’ve left and logged off
Even if you have departed and signed out
Your Minecraft friends will mine on
Your friends in the Minecraft community will continue to mine and play
We'll mine on
We will keep mining and playing the game
And though you've been killed in the game
Even if you have been defeated within the game
Your Minecraft friends will march on
Your friends in the Minecraft community will persist and move forward
Do or die
Persist and fight until the end
You'll never kill me
You will never be able to defeat me
Because the world
Since the Minecraft world
Will never take my ore
Will never strip me of my valuable resources
You can try
