Hey, thanks for chatting with us. Tell us a little about yourself.
Hungarian singer-songwriter living in Colombia. Writing songs since the 2000s, fusing rock, pop, and indie with dense, meaningful lyrics that only the initiated can understand. Recording in the healing frequency of 432Hz that the original Stradivarius violins were tuned to and that Mozart, as well as Verdi, utilized for songwriting.
Who or what inspired you to start making music? And, when did you start?
At around the age of 14, I started to write music on my mother’s classical guitar inspired my Metallica and Nirvana.
What is your biggest challenge as an artist?
It’s difficult when you get started and no one believes in you nor do you get the opportunity of a mentor or someone who helps you to get to the next level.
What is your favorite project or single you have released?
I don’t have a favorite. Every song has its story and reason I like it but if I had to choose from the ones I released it would be At Last, as it tells the story of a massive life-changing transformation I was going through at that time.
Who are your inspirations? What artists or bands are you listening to?
Metallica, Nirvana, Oasis, Guns N’ Roses, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
What’s the process behind working on a song like?
Sometimes I just get inspired by a tune I’ve been fiddling with, or sometimes I have a topic that I just want to write a song about. Once the riffs are done … I start writing the lyrics.
What are your plans for 2024?
I want to get a good fanbase that wants me to make more music.
