Bio
.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... ...... .... First I wanted to have a career as a visual artist, but soon I exchanged my pencil and paintbrush for a Commodore 64 and a Russian upright piano. In the middle of ‘80s I was programming music on a C64, beside of that I began to play the piano for myself. At the age of 18 I started to play in a band, we played blues cover versions. After that I kept switching groups and mingling styles through blues, progressive rock and acid-jazz. First real success was the ..Garderobe.. project (12” vinyl, Future Sound of Budapest vol 3)..... ...... Then I started to contribute on Yonderboi’s debut album ..Shallow and Profound.. which was distributed world wide and it won the Golden Giraffe prize in Hungary. As a member of the ....Yonderboi Quintet.... I have played on more than 160 concerts all around the continent. We formed another project with Yonderboi called ..Trevira Modern..(10” vinyl maxi). Some tracks of this project were licensed by the BBC and the CHANNEL 4 Television. Presently I am the keyboard player of Yonderboi and the ..Kings of Oblivion.. on the Splendid Isolation tour..... ......

This album was selected for the chart of the 50 all time’s most important Hungarian records by the music magazine WAN2. Presently we are working our new studio album...
