'''Anastasios "Sakis" Rouvas II''' ([[Greek alphabet|Greek]]: Αναστάσιος "Σάκης" Ρουβάς, {{IPA-el|ˈsakis ruˈvas|pron}};  5 Januar 1972), aften referred tae [[mononym]]ously as '''Sakis''', is a [[Greece|Greek]] recordin airtist, film an telly airtist, entertainer, businessman, an umwhile pole vaulter who is the maist commercially successfu entertainer o aw time in Greece an Cyprus an ane o the maist influential an aw. Born in [[Corfu]], he began his career as a member o the naitional [[track an field athletics|athletics]] team in the 1980s, whaur he wan naitional medals, an then commencit a muisical career in 1991, acomin ane of Greece's first pop performers an popularizin several wastren muisic genres an trends. Ruitit in [[pop muisic|pop]] an [[rock muisic]] amang a wide array o styles adorned wi pouerful [[tenor]] vocals, he incorporatit complex choreografie, costumes, an technological advancements an haes been creditit for transformin [[muisic video]]s an live performance intae a airt form. Widely recognisit as the genres' primar representative tae this day, Rouvas is renouned for retainin a staundart o autonomie frae domestic styles an conventions an gainin unprecedentit success for a nan-[[laïko]] or [[éntekhno]] airtist an for breakin cultural, social, airtistic, an generational barriers in Greece an Cyprus.

In the early 1990s, efter signin wi [[PolyGram Records]] an winnin the Thessaloniki Song Festival, Rouvas became a dominant figur in Greek entertainment; initially emergin as a [[teen idol]], he gained a mass [[fandom|fanbase]] an circa 1994 his appearances provokit mass [[hysteria]] aften dubbed ''Rouvomania'', leadin tae him bein citit as a unique [[phenomenon]] in the Hellenic industrie. He quickly gained a reputation as a live performer an breuk several attendance records. Regardit as a [[sex symbol]], Rouvas' uninhibitit performance style, coupled wi continuously pushing the boundaries of socially acceptable content wi his image an airt led tae him becomin a lichtnin rod for sociopolitical an releegious controversy. Despite releasin five commercially successfu albums, this wis furthered bi his heichly-publicisit personal struggles, includin his time in his [[militar service]] an 1997 Greek-Turkis peace concert, which damagit his public image an led tae a relatively unsuccessful period an hiatus. Rouvas signed wi [[Minos EMI]] in 1997 an returned tae the tap o muisic wi albums lik ''[[Kati Apo Mena]]'' (1998) an ''[[21os Akatallilos]]'' (2000) which further broadened his airtistic horizons an pavit the wey for creetical acclaim intae the [[21st century]] efter haein lang-struggled wi his image owershadaein his airtistrie. He continually gained tichter control ower his muisic an image, eventually leadin tae the end o his famed 14-year collaboration wi manager Ilias Psinakis. Rouvas became ane o the few Greek entertainers tae gain a degree of recognition abroad; haein attained notability within the [[Balkans]] syne the 1990s, Rouvas embarkit on multiple projects abroad, chairtin in a few territories, an bein involvit in the [[Eurovision Song Contest]] on three occasions. Bi the 2010s, Rouvas haed reached the hicht of his career an gained entrepreneurial control while he expanded his empire tae [[film]], [[televeesion]], [[theatre]], an [[fashion]], haein achieved creetical an commercial success in maist. His single "[[:en:Shake It (Sakis Rouvas song)|Shake It]]" remains the best-sellin staundart single o aw time in Greece, while sangs an videos sic as "1992", "Aima, Dakrya & Idrotas", "Ela Mou", "Xana", "Tora Arhizoun Ta Dyskola", "Den Ehei Sidera I Kardia Sou", "Ypirhes Panta", "Antexa", "Se Thelo San Trelos", an "[[:en:+ Se Thelo|+ Se Thelo]] hae toppit the chairts an hae become amang the maist iconic sangs in popular Greek muisic.

Aften citit as the maist attractive man in entertainment, a title for which he has receivit hivy attention, Rouvas haes attained a record nummer o endorsement deals an is the maist popular Greek celebrity on combined [[social media]].
