Born in Budapest Hungary to an artist father and an accomplished singer, he escaped from his homeland in 1956 and after a brief stay in Italy moved to Montreal Canada. It was here where his love for the guitar took firm hold and by his late teens in Toronto he was apearing as a soloist. Later while living in the Netherlands, with his first wife who was a dancer, he found himself composing for and accompanying dancers. Listening to his compositions you can hear the rhythmns of the dance, as well as the moody harmonies of his homeland and the playfulness of flamenco stylings.

These later compositions were each written for and about the women in his life. You can hear their chatter, their pain, laughter and movement. There is less formality in these compositions, a newfound freedom to use a narrative.
