Short biography:
Music : 1995-Csaba Ákos, 1998-1999 Erkel Ferenc college of music, jazz drum dept. (Geröly Tamás, Márkus Tibor), 2002-2003 Kotsis András, piano. In 2004, I found the perfect teacher for me, in the person of Korompay Zsolt. Currently, I still learn from him.
My instrument: Technique is just as an important thing for me as being able to consciously improvise. I work on this all the time. Even now. I admire a groove when it has a life of its own. Like I do. I try to bring more and more soul into the music I play.
Everwood: A priority in my life. I have got opportunity to play together with people I respect. It's an honor.
Family: I live in Biatorbágy with my girlfriend and a cat.
Pictures: What I can't express in the language of music, I say with a photograph. Dynamics, rhythm, empathy. If it's all there, I take a shot.
