About Me |
|
| I was born in the city of Zalaegerszeg, on 8 May, 1983. I was only four years old when we moved to Budapest and I started my studies there. From my musician family, to my cimbalom player father since my birth I was surrounded with music and my talent showed in a very early age,however my life went to a different direction. Yet in Zalaegerszeg, I begun to go to kindergarten music but because of moving I had considerably long break, fourteen years. Thereafter at age eighteen after my high-school graduation exam it defined in me that I would like to learn to sing. At my first significant performance I met my future husband bassist József Barcza Horváth and thankfully through him I found the genre of music were I can express most of all my self: that is Jazz. He was the person who introduced me to my later singing teacher,the known and acclaimed Gábor Winand. Finishing Economy Technical College and External Trade Administration Department Qualification achievement I wanted entirely devote my self to singing. In this there was interference, I was studying at the Study of Music Art School and also at the same time at Loránd Eötvös University of Science Liberal Arts English and Russian department, nevertheless when I had to choose the decision was obvious. From thereon nothing could hampered that I want to spend my day to days with singing jazz and in big part because when I was learning singing I begun to perform as well. At first with Robert Szakcsi Lakatos trio and after with more and more combos. After three and a half years of study and continuous performances I applied to the Famous Monteux Jazz festival were they held the third voice competition in 2005 called Shure Montreux Jazz voice Competition were from all around the world under 30 years of age singers could apply. To my big joy I was invited to the only 8 semifinalist, where I came out as the first prize winner and also as the winner of the audience award. For me this achievement is not only important because it comes with prestige but because such artists (Barbara Hendricks, Randy Crawford among others) were judging me that I look up professionally with out any condition. In January 2006 I took part on Conference of International Associaton for Jazz Education (IAJE Conference) in New York, and I performed in Hilton New York Hotel and in the club of Lincoln Center, Dizzy's Club. My partners were: Gilad Hekselman, Israel (2005 Montreux Guitar Competition Winner), Harold Lopez Nussa-Torres, Cuba (2005 Montreux Piano Competition Winner) and Geoff Newman and Anthony Pinciotti from USA. In 2006 I won a scholarship, which can be given to three young Hungarian musicians every year. I am very proud of this scholarship, because the jury consisted of very recognized Hungarian musicians, Béla Sa-chi and Kalman Olah amongst others. I returned to Montreux as a performer with my beloved band - Róbert, József and András - and we made a concert on 30 June 2006 before Paolo Conte. Myspace Editor Pimp MySpace |
