After finishing his studies at the Royal College of Music in Sweden, Lyssarides was - at the age of 21 - awarded one of Sweden’s biggest music awards, the Jan Wallander Prize. The prize included a brand-new Steinway B grand piano as well as access to a rehearsal studio in central Stockholm. In 2019, Lyssarides was named Musician of the Year by the Swedish radio. As one of Sweden’s best-selling jazz artists, his music has been streamed over 60 million times on digital streaming platforms.
