Biography
Sin Boy is the stage name of Theodoros Agkoustin Gkeka, an Albanian rapper who grew up in Nea Ionia, Athens, and emerged as one of the most unconventional figures of the Greek trap scene. Raised in modest circumstances, he has spoken about financial hardship during his childhood and adolescence, experiences that later shaped both his public persona and lyrical themes. He first gained attention in 2013 through the Amita Motion contest with the single Paradoxou To, which resonated strongly with younger audiences and introduced him to the local music industry, although he did not continue his early professional collaborations. In the following years he deliberately experimented with a provocative, low fidelity aesthetic in order to generate discussion and visibility, a strategy that gradually built his name. By 2016 he released Barbie with Taki Tsan, and in 2017 he moved toward a more focused artistic direction, signing an EP deal with Heaven Music before eventually parting ways and redefining his sound. From 2017 onward he delivered a string of major digital hits including Draco, Mana, Eleos, High, Sofia, Egklimatias, Colombiana, and Gigi with Rina, as well as Juju and Sari Sari Sari, establishing himself as a streaming phenomenon. In 2019 he achieved massive commercial success with Mama alongside Ypohthonios, Mad Clip and iLLEOo, followed by Sientelo and his debut solo album Ka Gu Ras under Minos EMI, further consolidating his mainstream appeal. That same year he generated controversy by announcing a temporary name change to Lil Jesus, canceling concerts, and publicly denouncing elements of the music industry and public figures, moves that intensified media scrutiny and marked a turbulent transitional phase. In 2020 he founded his own label, AlphaPopOriginal, and released the album MM with Rina, embracing pop, electronic textures and retro dance influences, followed by One Love. Subsequent years saw a prolific output of singles and albums including Nos, Old But Gold, Born Star, Genius and Ka Gu Ras III, while in 2023 he staged an orchestrated publicity stunt around his supposed death before returning with new material and the expansive 35 track Zero2Hero, one of his most commercially successful releases, featuring the viral track Sexaki with DJ Stephan. He continued releasing multiple albums in 2024, including Ka Gu Ras 7, Pre Za Ki and #kosovoisalbania, alongside singles that addressed public criticism and accusations, and remained one of the most searched artists in Greece online. In 2025 he issued the albums GTA VI and HOODA, describing the latter as his final Greek language album. Later that year, a social media post featuring angel wings and the dates 1990-2025 sparked renewed death rumors, though no confirmation followed. Throughout his career he has combined controversy, reinvention and calculated unpredictability with undeniable digital impact, transforming early criticism into a devoted fan base and maintaining a distinctive presence within contemporary Greek rap.
