Minos Matsas (Athens, 6 September 1968) is a Greek composer, lyricist and producer. He is the grandson of the founder of the record company Minos EMI. One of his grandmothers was from Constantinople, the other from Thessaloniki and his grandfather, Minos, from Ioannina. He was born into a musical family with a tradition of recording alive and with a father who was at the moment of his great creation. His father, Makis, had him in the studio with him from the age of five.
