My name is Michael Kokkinakis and I’ve been playing and performing classical guitar for 15 years now. Graduated from Texas Woman’s University in Denton with a degree in guitar performance and now I take my classical knowledge and mix it in with a more modern, singer-songwriter, live looping, improvisational style.

May 10, 2026We had an amazing experience with our wedding ceremony guitarist! He was punctual, professional, and played beautifully throughout the ceremony. We gave him a list of songs we wanted, and he played every one perfectly on classical guitar, creating such an elegant and emotional atmosphere for our special day.
Communication was smooth, he arrived on time, and everything went exactly as planned. We received so many compliments from our guests about the music. Highly recommended for any wedding or special event!

born from the heart of chicago, illinois and raised in dallas, texas, i began my studies of guitar and its music at the age of 22. i enrolled in the guitar program at richland community college and discovered how innate the guitar came to me. since then i have been teaching and performing guitar for 15 years not only in the DFW metroplex but all across the world; Spain, Greece, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Vietnam, The Philippines, Bulgaria, England and Mexico.
guitar music is my life and my passion is serving it to your ears. it has been such a blessed journey in discovering this craft and it brings immense joy to fill the air with the sound of music.
i provide all my own amplification and lighting if necessary.
