BIOGRAPHY
I am a Hungarian born pianist/composer currently living in the UK.
My new album has just been released which contains 14 songs, they are all based around piano orchestrated with strings. My musical past and journey is reflected in the selection of these pieces.
I have also been working on various music projects as a pianist/songwriter, writing solo piano pieces, composing film music and classical piano pieces for children. I am also a piano teacher at an establish Music Conservatoire in London.
My Mum being a piano teacher introduced me to music very early on which set a clear path to the world of music.
I studied classical music for long years before I expanded my horizon and continued exploring, learning jazz piano.
I won several music awards as a teenager in various classical piano competitions, have taken part in duets, chamber music or just solo piano contests.
My musical inspiration came from the biggest composers, my favourites being Chopin and Bartók just to name a few.
Having a brother being a big music enthusiast, I heard great rock/progressive rock bands in my early teenage years. I soon recognised the same roots and shared elements with classical music. Hearing and playing a combination of musical genres led me to my current style.
Bands like King Crimson, the Doors, Emerson Lake and Palmer, and some less known progressive bands from the 70's had a huge impact on me.
I formed my first band at the age of 18. Initially I joined a Doors Tribute band, when I was invited I already knew most of their songs, I enjoyed playing the bass lines and improvising.
I started writing music as a teenager in the style of progressive rock, complex rhythms, odd time-signatures combined with classical influenced virtouso piano parts, melancholic melodies. Collaborating with my brother Arpad we founded the band CodeX and released the album Wide-Awake.
After hearing advice from friends that my music is very filmy, I started studying film music in London and the Berklee College of Boston. Soon I built up a diverse repertoire of classically inspired film music compositions. My style has evolved through a musically adventurous experience, romantic, melancholic or quirky, joyful or dark, harmonic or dissonant.
I am a co-writer and pianist of two bands.
As a songwriter I teamed up with fantastic vocalist Mel Golding, a versatile singer with a powerful dramatic voice. This culturally and musically interesting collaboration led to the birth of Nova Luna, a female duo of piano-voice. Our Debut album Naked As The Moon includes 10 songs in the style of pop/rock, ranging from quirky songs to dramatic ballads. We are in the process of making a new album, due to be released in 2025. Please see further links.
As a pianist, I am a musical partner in the band D-EDGE which was founded by classically trained Italian cellist/singer Stefano Matteucci. I found mutual roots in Stefano's original music, a classically trained cellist with hints of film/pop genre and demanding piano parts which raised my interest to be part of this musical experience. We released 5 studio albums together. Please see further links.
I have also written educational books for children containing my piano pieces.
These books ranging from beginners to advanced students of all levels, 6 books containing only original compositions.
All my work from the past has been recently collected and re-arranged in a soft manner, played and written emphasising the melancholic character of the pieces, resulting in a one hour long soft piano music. It is also available on Spotify, Deezer, Youtube.
I am currently a piano teacher of a Music Conservatoire in London. It is a very rewarding work to see and guide talented pianists through their musical journey.
