WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY..

  • My vision is to create music that crosses boundaries and borders. Music that cuts through the surface and takes its listeners on a journey to within and to the stars. I dream that my music could bring hope and comfort, and for it to be a healing place. I dream that everyone who hears the music could feel welcome and seen. This all is my vision and my dream.

  • The thing is, I cannot not do it. I was born, and then I did music. My way to connect with the world around me was always through playing the piano and singing. Writing songs and improvisation helped me already as a child to journal my emotions, to develop my thoughts into something I was able to understand. Singing is breathing, melodies a heartbeat, rhythms steps on the ground and piano is my best friend, the one who knows too many things.

    I also believe in the power of arts. Music, film, poetry, paintings.. Throughout the history art has been a way to bring beauty and hope, peace and connection into this world. It is a language that has no barriers. Art is something that belongs to everyone, everywhere. I find it to be my calling and purpose to bring melodies and rhythms into this world that someone somewhere might need.

  • I started to play piano when I was six years old. Actually, the first time I “played” the piano was when I was 1 year old and I pointed people to lift me to the piano and I started to play. I propably sang before I spoke. My first songs I composed when I was eight- years old. At eleven I did my first recording to a cd with my own composition.

    Composing work continued in the ages of 13-15 when I was asked to compose and perform pieces of music for concerts and for a tour around Hungary.

    After primary- and middleschool I got into Sibelius high- school where I continued performing and developing the craft. I guess I´ve always performed, as far as I can remember I was always on stage. I don´t remember a time when I would not have had a microphone in my hand or a piano in front of me.

    Even though my work took me into industry of acting in tv and movies, I kept on composing, always. Singing and playing was and is my ongoing place to go to. My favourite place, the safe place and a comfortable place.

    I released my first singles in Spotify in 2015-2017 through a record-label called 325media. These singles were Finnish- releases. Even though there was a chance to build my music- career right then and there, something in me just couldn´t continue on that path. 2019 was a breakthrough year of explaining it to me.

    I spent the summer of 2019 studying music in LA, and there I remembered for the first time in a while my own voice. I got a vision of what I want to do and what I am supposed to do, what I was created to do. It was a compass showing me why I had felt a conflict inside of me a few years back. I was supposed to create something new and different, and be obedient to it.

    For three years I have been composing, exploring, building my sound, arranging, training producing and putting it all together into the right direction. There´s so much life in doing what you honestly feel you´re called to. It might look completely different to the things going on in the right and in the left, the greatest distractions.. But when you´re honest with your craft, you can stand with it bravely and trust that whoever it is meant for, it is truly meant for them and it is worth something.

  • I am building my first independent EP together. Goal is to bring my first full album after that. It has been wild three years of composing, arranging and practicing producing, living between three different countries, and now it all has come to a breaking point. Finally we are here, closer.

    The songs of the EP are mostly done. Right now I am gathering resources to hire help for the mastering and mixing and other support for the final product. I seriously cannot wait for you to hear it. It is going to be pretty cool xx
