Tell us about yourself: Started musical career as a folk songwriter and interpreter at 17, dicovered by an influential media person in native town, Miercurea-Ciuc, Romania. When in university, was a founder member of the most popular student folk group in the Transylvanian region, "Altfel". Participated in and won many special prizes at national and international European and Canadian festivals. Many media appearances along the years. As time passed, the jazzy feel came into play more and more, especially when established in Canada in 2006 and found a totally different musical context. Collaboration with Vuscan Records marks the stepping into maturity and the self-discovery experience some only dream of.
