Baubo Productions is the website we created for George Nikopoulos in order to showcase his activity. George was born in 1987 in Veria and grew up in Katerini. He has been involved in music since he was a child, releasing the stimuli that his family gave him. He studied Audio and Visual Arts at the Ionian University, where he was mainly involved in animation and performing arts.
