carreer

He was born 1977 in Budapest, Hungary, and lives in Dunaharaszti near to the capital. He started learning music from his brother who taught him playing the drum and later he began to play the trumpet in a musical elementary school. After that he got in touch with the electric bass and started learning it by himself.

His musical career began at the age of 15, with some amateur bands. He formed his own band named 'Voice' in '96, in jazz-rock, funky, soul style. He joined the trio called 'Honeyflak' formed by Janos Kallai in '97 playing Joe Satriani songs mainly at that time. This was the predecessor of today’s K3.

In 2001 he started to work with Gyula Papp in the band 'Motherfunker', then he became a member of Jazzterfield from Székesfehérvár, lead by Dávid Horváth. They played Miles Davis, John Scofield, Pat Metheny songs.

In 2002 he played the last gig with Sziámi in Sziget Festival.

In 2003, he took part in Dandó Péter jazz-bass competition, where he got serious appreciation from his competitors and friends as well because of his unhesitant and modest stand out.
