By the
age of 17 Christos Tolera had already been photographed for the Evening
Standard, The
Face and I.D. magazine, well on his way to becoming a leading light in
London's burgeoning underground club scene.
Aged 19
he appeared on the cover of The Face as one of the singers in the then
uber-fashionable jazz-latin dance act Blue Rondo A La Turk.
Alongside
his music career Christos began to model in fashion shows and did editorial
work for all the major fashion magazines.

Throughout
the 1980's Christos continued to perform and appeared in videos
for Spandau Ballet(To Cut A long Story
Short), Sade (When
Am I Gonna Make A Living?), Eurythmics (Wide
Eyed Girl), Bananarama (Preacherman), Holly Johnson (Americanos), Terence Trent D'Arby (SignYour
Name), Michael Jackson (Give
In To Me) and many more.
In 2000
Christos went back into education and came away with a first class honours
degree in fine Art in 2003.
