On June 23rd I’m playing at Ravens with Slightly Offensive, an alternative/progressive rock band from Limassol with whom I have been performing since 2009. With their extremely dynamic performances Slightly Offensive have managed to win the hearts of the locals and established a hardcore fanbase who attend their concerts and support their music every single time.
Joakem (Stelios Ioakim) is a Cyprus based musician, composer, vocalist and keyboardist that writes and performs powerful but at the same time atmospheric progressive rock music. Joakem began his musical path as a classical pianist but later on evolved to become a sound exploring keyboardist, vocalist and composer. He formed several bands with which he has performed extensively and has gained international publicity after being the finalist of The Voice of Greece in 2017, taking second place. In February of 2018 he released his first solo work, the progressive rock single called “The Path” followed by his second single released in November 2018 titled “Generation Z”. On December 7th 2018 he released his debut 8 track album, titled “Mind Matter”. Musically the album is a blend of complex melodies and time signatures, heavy synth sounds, aggressive guitars, intricate drum patterns and a blend of different vocal techniques.
