EN: Musicflix Show – From YouTube to Spotify No.1: The Manos Case
Curated by Chris Kaltsas
From a casual school video to the top of the Spotify charts.
In this English edition of the Musicflix Show, we explore the story of Manos — the first Greek YouTuber who grew alongside the country’s digital scene and unexpectedly made the leap into music.
After stepping away from YouTube, returning more focused, and embracing a new creative phase, Manos released his debut track “Baby”.
Created independently, without a record label, budget, or team, the song reached No.1 on Spotify Greece and quickly gained traction on TikTok.
Through a relaxed, two-host conversation, we discuss:
how authenticity and self-awareness build long-term audiences
why today’s digital creators are no longer limited to a single platform
how TikTok and streaming algorithms can turn independent releases into mainstream hits
