2003-2006

After the school with a lot of music in my head but without the knowing what kind of music i want to play i moved to Budapest from the countryside. I tried myself in different bands in different styles.


Become a pro... :)
2007-2010
Finally i found myself in one of the really popular alternative band in Hungary, with 90-100 gig in a year... That was crazy...From the small clubs to the main stages of the festivals we played everywhere in Hungary and the neighbourhood... Usually the baseline was simple, but i learned there to be confidence on the stage in any situation... To play is better teacher then a school...

As a bass player i'm in a popular 12-piece reggae-dancehall-pop band, called Irie Maffia.
