Alkinoos Ioannidis (Greek: Αλκίνοος Ιωαννίδης; born September 19, 1969) is a Greek-Cypriot composer, lyricist, singer and orchestrator.He was born in Nicosia on 19 September 1969. His artistic family, with a painter father and poet brother was a source of inspiration for him. He first wanted to study drums, but couldn't due to the lack of a drum teacher in Nicosia. Instead, he studied guitar.
For the first 20 years of his life, he lived in a Nicosia suburb. After his military service, he went off to Greece to study theatre. He also entered the School of Philosophy, University of Athens, which he later gave up. He was more successful in his theatre studies where he played some major roles in well known Greek tragedies such as Alcestis.At the age of 23 he recorded his first album called Stin Agora Tou Kosmou (Greek: Στην Αγορά Του Κόσμου, In The World's Market) with lyrics and music written by Nikos Zoudiaris. This demo tape eventually reached the hands of a well known singer, Dimitra Galani. She instantly became fond of their music and Alkinoos' voice and helped them get a record deal.

Greek Lyrics
Κοίτα, κοίτα
Τι είναι η στάχτη κοίτα
Κοίτα, κοίτα, κοίτα
Μη φοβηθείς την φωτιά
Μια σαΐτα στου καημού την πλάτη
Μια σαΐτα που σε πονάει με τον νοτιά
Τόσο καιρό δεν ήξερα πόσα καρφιά χωράει
Τόσο καιρό δεν ήξερα μια σταυρωμένη αγάπη
Όχι αγάπη, όχι αγάπη μόνο του άπιαστου η ψευτιά
Νομίζει η καρδιά πως μισεί
Ότι αγαπάει και ότι φοβάται να βρει
Κι είναι δειλός του Σαββάτου ο πηλός
άγγελος απατηλός
ψάχνεις και 'συ σαν καδένα μισή
τ' άλλο μισό και αν είμαι εγώ
Δεν το 'θέλε η μοίρα μαζί
Κοίτα, κοίτα
Τι είναι η στάχτη κοίτα
Κοίτα, κοίτα, κοίτα
Μη φοβηθείς την φωτιά
Μια σαΐτα στου καημού την πλάτη
Μια σαΐτα που σε πονάει με τον νοτιά
Τόσο καιρό δεν ήξερα πόσα καρφιά χωράει
Τόσο καιρό δεν ήξερα μια σταυρωμένη αγάπη
Όχι αγάπη, όχι αγάπη μόνο του άπιαστου η ψευτιά
Κοίτα, κοίτα...
