Where were you born?

Hungary

Hungary

How did that place influence your music? (if at all!)

Not much 😀

Where are you based now, and why?

London, because it is The Land of Opportunities.

What got you into making music in the first place?

I was left on my own for long hours, while mom was working in the factory to put food on the table. I have spent my lonely hours listening to Whitney Houston, Maria Carey, Phil Collins, Cindy Lauper, etc. Also once the Soviets left my country things changed and instead of obligatory scouting you were free to choose your free time activity and I got into amateur show-dancing.

Whitney Houston, Maria Carey, Eva Cassidy, ZAZ, Carrie Underwood, Christina Aguilera

Why did you get into playing them in the first place?

I was looking for exposure

What advice would you give new performers who are just starting out playing their first open mics?

Do not take anyone’s advice. YOUR HEART KNOWS!

What’s the hardest thing, for you, about playing open mics?

To be waiting in the queue and then to having to stop after a fee songs when I want to do it ALL NIGHT. 😄✌🏻

What’s the most bizarre, or fun, open mic, or gig, you’ve ever played, and why?

I AM a natural born “bizarre”😎

If it’s not already, are you hoping to make music your full-time career?

Yes

What do you currently find the hardest and biggest obstacles to moving your music career forward?

I have inly started on the 30 March 2024 😌

What’s the one truth about you that people often find surprising?

That I am truly transparent.
