Born in Toronto in 1972, Greek-Jewish Canadian musician Steryannis started drumming at age听 12.听
Inspired by the power and artistry of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, he pounded on a practice pad and an old set of bongo drums until his father lovingly presented him with a brand new Tama Royalstar drumset, with Paiste cymbals, for his 13th birthday.听
Since then, Steryannis听 and the drums have been inseparable.
