kinds of songs that his mother taught him.
In 1951 he graduated from school and went to work with his father in construction. During his work in the construction site he start to sing to himself and everyone listened. When Apostolos listened to the radio and heard the songs of Stelios Kazantzidis at that moment he was amazed.

Especially young people sang the old songs performed by popular artists at that time, including Stelios Kazantzidis and Btikotzis.
