As far as I know, I always wanted to become a singer: stand on a stage, hold a mic, wear beautiful dresses and express all that is within me. My grandma told me that I was singing in her bathroom at the age of 3 and she said I sounded like an angel.

My music career actually started in a Hungarian kindergarten when the director of the local elementary school, which had a music department starting from the age of 6, came to listen to us singing. When I finished my song and wanted to go back to my place, he asked me to stay and sing one more song 😀 and I was invited to attend his school between 1984-1992. At this school, named after the famous Bela Bartok, I started to sing in the choir, won the competition for close harmony three times and the city folk song singing competition one time. There I also started learning to play the piano when I was 7 together with music theory and solfege (a music education method used to teach aural skills, pitching sight-reading of Western music).

It was a straight line for me to continue at the prestigious music faculty of Tömörkény István Secondary School in Szeged between 1992-1996 where each week I had 4 hours of music lessons, 1,5 hours of choir practice, and a 1 hour piano and music theory (solfege) lesson.

From there, between 1996 – 2000 I studied at the University of Szeged in Hungary at the Teacher Training College ‘Juhász Gyula’ and interestingly I chose to become an Italian Language Teacher and Cultural Organizer. During these years I didn’t give up my music dream as I also attended a music school where I had private singing lessons in the style of jazz, gospel, swing, and pop. There I also learned jazz music theory and started an acapella vocal quartet. We sang together for 4 years and won the competition between the city’s universities which resulted in a 10 – day tour to France which I organised.
