ABOUT

I’m Dimitrios Kakes, also known as Jim Kakes —a musician, songwriter, composer, and producer from Athens, Greece. With a strong foundation in classical music and a Master’s degree in Songwriting from the Institute of Contemporary Music and Performance (ICMP) accredited by the University of East London, I’m skilled across multiple instruments, including guitar, piano, bass, and the hurdy-gurdy.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Since 2011, I have released over 100 songs across a variety of musical styles like metal, rock, medieval folk, orchestral music, electronic, and pop. I currently lead and creatively direct six active music projects, three of which are publicly associated with my name, while the other three are under an undisclosed alias. For all these projects, I compose, perform, and produce the music, consistently releasing new material. Additionally, I am the founding member and leader of Mindthreat, a band active since 2011. As a performer, I have played in more than 100 shows across 12 countries and 30 cities in Europe. My work has been widely recognised, amassing over a million streams across all platforms and gaining critical acclaim.

VISION

As a producer and songwriter, I aim to collaborate with other artists to create impactful music and grow my reputation in the music industry. As a performer, I seek to continue touring with Mindthreat and contribute to active touring bands as a session member.
