K.Bhta (abbreviated from the Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Βήτα, Konstantínos Vita; also known as Konstantinos Beta and Κ.Β.) is a Greek artist. He was born in Melbourne, Australia, where he studied painting and art history before moving to Athens, where he studied graphic design. In 1992 he formed the electronic band Stereo Nova, with which he recorded five official albums. In 1996, Stereo Nova disbanded and he began to pursue a solo career. He has composed music for documentaries, movies, and theatrical plays, and received international attention for his contribution to the Opening Ceremony of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games.[1][2]
