He was born in the Athenian neighbourhood of Kaisariani in 1940.
Kalogiannis was an artist who stood out for his rich voice with a rich facet of colour.
He also collaborated with numerous leading Greek composers including Mikis Theodorakis, Stavros Xarchakos, Dimos Moutsis and Mimis Plessas, to name a few.
In 1966, he met Theodorakis by chance and toured with him across Greece, Europe, and the Soviet Union.
During the dictatorship, Kalogiannis left Greece in 1967 along with Maria Farantouri and others. They performed internationally due to the political situation in Greece.
