Frenk
25 April / 21:00
Jelen


He was only six when he got his first guitar, and at the age of eleven he got a rundown and untunable piano. His first solo album entitled Szívzörejek (Heart Murmur) was released in late 2006. Although as a drummer he joined bands like Quimby, Kispál és a Borz, Balaton and others, he seems to have got rid of his drumsticks for good. Having left Hiperkarma, he now focuses exclusively on his own music and lyrics.
