Zoltán was born in Vác, Hungary on July 21,
1970. He's been interested in music since the age of 5 when he
first heard his father play guitar. He became obsessed with the
guitar from the age of 10. In the beginning, he had no structured
musical training. His favourite bands at that time were especially
Hungarian rock bands. He became familiar with the music of Iron
Maiden in 1983-84. This motivated him to take up the bass guitar.
He formed his first band, Jericho, in 1986. As a result of many
changes in the band's line-up, in 1988 he changed to playing guitar.
He also sang in the band, even though he doesn't consider himself
a singer. As a guitarist, he cites As a guitarist, he cites Joe
Satriani, Frank Gambale, Steve Morse and Adrian Smith as his biggest
influences. More favotrite guitarists: Dimebag (R.I.P.), Steve
Vai, Greg Howe, Richie Kotzen, John Petrucci, Chris Brooks, Steve
Lukather, Neal Schon, Todo Duane, Allan Hollsworth, Szabó
Sándor, Fredrik Thordental.
He generally tunes his guitars fairly normally, except his Samick,
which is tuned one augmented fourth down. In the studio, however,
he also tunes his guitar to suit the mood of a given song. These
are usually very individual tuning arrangements, especially on
acoustic guitar.
Zoltán is one of NEMESIS' principal songwriters. He arranges his
idea with the help of a sequencer, and then shows them to the
rest of the band.
When he's not playing music, he works as the director of GU^LA
Records Ltd., organising everything relating to NEMESIS. According
to his qualifications, he's a machine designer and motor vehicle
technician.
