GYÖRGY NAGY |
György was born in Budapest, Hungary, on September
29, 1971. His younger sister was the first member of his family to
come in contact with music when she started learning piano, hence
there was an upright piano at home. At the age of 11, György enrolled
in the Vác Music School. He wanted to learn the drums, but that course
was already full. He then chose piano, but he was too old for that
course. He had no other option; he had to take up a brass instrument.
He learnt to play the trumpet for 4 years. He was a member of the
town brass band and performed in public with them several times. However,
he broke off his music studies because he became more interested in
sports. In 1986, he took 2nd place in the Hungarian national regatta
championships. After a period of active sports, he returned to music.
He started playing piano; first by ear, and later from his sister's
musical scores. At first, electronic music had a great influence on
him (Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode… etc.). Then
at the age of 16, he got to know work of Iron Maiden, who drove him
towards rock music. The 1989 Dream Theater album, When Dream and Day
Unite was also a great influence... |
