ZOLI came to music at an early age as his mother, a single parent of four children, bought him a piano when she recognised his talent. A classically trained musician, his formative years saw him be educated at Budapest’s prestigious Leo Weiner Music School.
The singer is not only trained classically, but also is an aluminous of the renowned Dr Lauschmann Gyula Jazz conservatory. His musical background in Hungary also involves being a contestant on the Hungarian version of American Idol in 2007, and a member of popular Hungarian band, Freak, which was the main reason for his rise to fame.
Going solo in 2011, ZOLI made the brave move to London to take his success to the English-speaking world. In London he met his producer, an American entrepreneur and businessman, and they set up Z Music Entertainment, an independent record label.
Growing as an artist, ZOLI spent 2012 traveling to the U.S. and London to create his new sound evolving from his traditionally trained music styles to upbeat pop music.
ZOLI is looking forward to sharing his music with the U.S., Australia and U.K., stating, “My main motivation is seeing the reaction when people hear my music for the first time. I’m proud of my classical and jazz roots but I have enjoyed redirecting my sound to contemporary and dance oriented pop music.”
“It is a daunting prospect starting out in the U.S., Australia and U.K., when I have an established fan base back home. But I am positive the audience will believe in my passion for music and performing. It’s an exciting time for me and Z Music Entertainment.”
