Gezos was born in 1988, in Himara, a small coastal city in the Greek minority zone of southern Albania. In 1991 and after the opening of the Greek-Albanian borders that followed the collapse of the communist regime in Albania, his family immigrated to Greece, particularly in Skala, Laconia, a town half an hour south of Sparta. He studied at the National Technical University of Athens[3] as a Surveying Engineer. He currently lives in Athens.
