An ingenious artist
Desmond Child’s songs make up the soundtrack of our lives. His numerous collaborations will be presented in a spectacular event with unique performances. A Grammy-winning and Emmy-nominated composer, producer and author, Desmond Child has built a matchless career of outstanding accomplishments having created unsurpassed and unforgettable hits with some of the most famous and renowned names in music.
Desmond Child has many times collaborated with legendary artists, such as
Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Bonnie Tyler, Cher, KISS, Scorpions,
Ricky Martin, Barbra Streisand, Michael Bolton, Joan Jett, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Garth Brooks, Cyndi Lauper, Christina Aguilera, Ava Max and Zedd.
Over the span of six decades his music has sold more than 500 million records and scored billions of streams and YouTube views all over the world.
Saying that Greek radio stations play at least four to five of his songs every single day would not be an overstatement!
Desmond Child has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and is currently member of its Board of Directors, as well as that of ASCAP. Alongside songwriter and producer Rudy Pérez, they founded the Latin Songwriters Hall Of Fame / LA MUSA AWARDS celebrating this year its 10th anniversary. Recently, “Livin’ La Vida Loca” was officially inducted into the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress for its cultural significance to America and the world.
Desmond Child’s name appears in the credits of over 80 singles listed in Billboard’s Top 40 hits across six decades, many of which have reached #1 in the entire globe.
“The Desmond you don’t know about is the one who not only taught me the next level of songwriting, but so many of the true aspects of friendship: truth, honor and loyalty. We’ve been through a lot together… the ups and the downs… and the ups again.”
JON BON JOVI – BON JOVI
“The first time we met, we wrote ‘Angel’ in about an hour and 45 minutes –
and I’m not bullshitting. The guy’s a f#@king genius!”
STEVEN TYLER – AEROSMITH
“Desmond is the perfect songwriter. Neither styles in music nor trends and fads have ever held him back from doing what he does best, which is craft a song like nobody else. I have to honestly say he has completely floored me with his songwriting craftsmanship. I admire him and applaud him.”
GENE SIMMONS – KISS
A visionary
A philhellene
Desmond Child believes that music is a global language of love without borders that brings together people from all walks of life, reaching directly into their hearts. This is why he is so passionate about working with fellow artists and musicians for the greater good. Always an optimist and visionary, he embraces and supports the just cause of the Parthenon Sculptures reunification campaign.
All Greeks and a big part of the international public opinion anticipate seeing the Parthenon Sculptures return to their “severed family” in the new Acropolis Museum.
The DESMOND CHILD ROCKS THE PARTHENON concert honors the Parthenon Sculptures and wishes to contribute to the empowerment of the international support wave and the public sentiment in favor of the reunification of these sacred sculptures to their real home and birthplace.
Desmond Child, one of the greatest hitmakers of our times, along with his brilliant and talented friends and colleagues, take a deep, low bow and respectfully dedicate this concert to the extraordinary and timeless country of Greece.
For the reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures!
