Biography
He was born 2 April 1956 in Budapest. After finishing Bajza Primary music school between 1962-1968, he received his high school final exam at Kölcsey Ferenc High School. After finishing his classical musical education - from the age of 5 - he was accepted to Bartók Béla Music Academy on Jazz Faculty. He graduated in 1979, his master was Mr János Gonda. While graduation he continued his classical education privately.

According to his view on music: "Music is a whole, there are no pieces. It is a real mission, which can be achieved only with real faith. It is a real issue, which issue can and must only be pursued as a whole, as a total. It contains concerts, composition, and, furthermore, the passing of experience and knowledge on, in other words teaching as a whole."
