How i started out?
I was only four years old when my parents noticed my affinity for music. They took me to a relative who was a recognized conductor and music teacher and he suggested that I should pursue a career in music.
We were not well-off and lived in a small apartment at the time, so when it came to picking an instrument for me to learn the piano was off limits. But there was a guitar hanging on the wall, my sister got it as a gift from abroad. I was six when I first played that guitar and I have been a fan of musical instruments ever since. First I was a self-taught guitar player then my parents enrolled me to a music school nearby where I studied classical guitar for eight years. At school, we played Beatles songs on a piano with my classmates during breaks. I was eight when I formed my first band and began writing songs with my sister, Annamaria, just two years later. My musical taste was shaped by a wide variety of styles:

I studied classical music at music school, played beat and pop with my friends at school and listened to an unbelievable amount of jazz and jazz rock at home. I had a number of favorites, notably Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears, Chick Corea, Deep Purple and Santana. I virtually have all of their records. After I got my first record player, I began to put together a remarkable record collection. To this day, I have a passion for collecting great music. Then as a teenager, I played in better and better bands. While continuing with my theatre career, I formed a band with family members and friends called Sasi Teshow in 2000, where I shared lead vocalist and composing duties with my sister, Annamária Sasvári (Zora). In 2007, I set out on an excursion to jazz-pop and recorded two songs for Beagle Beat Records. The project involved top-notch musicians and sound engineers from Hungary and I am quite proud of the result. The songs were released internationally in April/May 2008 through the major digital music stores.
