Vassilis Saleas is the foremost clarinet player in Greece. He was born in 1958 in Messologi. One
year later his family moved in Athens as they were searching for a better fortune. By the age of 14 he had mastered the clarinet and recorded his first disc.

His first attempt in the musical company is a record which was done when he was 14 years old. He is
considered one of the greatest Greek solist players through the years and because of his continuous study in the clarinette. He has very important moments in his career.He has done very important cooperations with Dionisis Savopoulos ,with Mikis Theodorakis , with Stamatis
Spanoudakis in the soundtrack of the movie "Stone Years" as well as in the records "Alexandros" and " Something happens here ".

actually widely known and many of his works have been released in Turkey, while many of his songs can be heard in various places and by a variety of audiences.
