He spent his developmental years living in a variety of places ultimately granting him a variety of life experiences. Layered on top of that are his feelings being a transracially adopted refugee. His music is a culmination of all of these experiences blended with the empathy he feels for others. Truly, the mission of his music is to heal with others—with every nation and tongue, in due time.

- 21:21Κάνε την αδυναμία - δύναμη. | Dimitris Papanikolaou | TEDxAthensΜικρός πίστευα ότι επιτυχία είναι να κατακτάς μετάλλια με κάθε κόστος και ότι την είχα κατακτήσει.Όταν ήρθε η κόρη μου στην ζωή και διαγνώστηκε με αυτισμό, μου είπε με τον τρόπο της, ότι επιτυχία είναι να βοηθάς τους ανθρώπους να πιάνουν το ταβάνι τους, ακόμα και αν αυτό δεν αντιστοιχεί σε μετάλλιο. Μου είπε ότι επιτυχία δεν είναι να θαυμάζουν εμένα, αλλά να ξεκινήσουν να θαυμάζουν τον εαυτό τους.Και τα κατάφερε. Κάναμε την αδυναμία δύναμη και συμπαρασύραμε χιλιάδες ανθρώπους.
