Yannis Philippakis (born April the 23rd, 1986)
Associated Acts: Foals (2005 - Present)
Vocal Range: D2 - G5
Vocal Type: Smoking Hot Tenor (he literally smoked and both sounded and looked hotter as a result)
{Vocal Summary}Went from annoying British boy in appearance and voice to Herculean legend with the smoothest voice in the business in just a few packs. Not that I'm an advocate for smoking BUT in this rare case it added some much needed weight to this guy's voice - and everyone is far happier with the result. You just want to be around him. More on this at 10 (when I get the motivation to write a proper summary that isn't just drooling over him and his appearance)
