Greece's leading hard rock - shred guitarist Laki Ragazas was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, having had his first contact with the guitar when he was 14. Influenced by the overwhelming expression and technique of guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, Michael Schenker and Gary Moore it didn’t take long to give in to the magic of playing on stage.
With a great proffessional background, working as a session musician, playing with numerous bands touring just about everywhere, he’s attained maximum live experience in excess of 1000 performances, including TV shows on local and satellite channels, and had the opportunity to be the opening act of international artists like Nazareth and HTP (Glenn Hughes - Joe Lynn Turner Project).

In 1996 he was nominated among 12 guitarists all over the world for a full year scholarship to attend the Atlanta Institute of Music which was in cooperation with Jason Becker.

In 1997 he won a $5000 scholarship from Boston’s Berklee College of Music.
He's been voted in Greek guitar fan sites as "one of the best Greek guitarists".
For the last ten years he’s been working as a guitar instructor in various music schools of Thessaloniki and he has successfully made guitar instruction clinics around Greece. In recent guitar seminars he presented his new teaching approach called ‘’Electric Guitar; Advanced Techniques and Theory’’.

In 2006 he founded the Killer Sixgun project, he recorded eight songs included in the first self released CD, (6 instrumental and 2 with singer John Jeff Touch)  which received stunning reviews from all over the world. He’s currently preparing new music material on the Killer Sixgun project.
