ISTVAN is from Canada and has always had an interest in music.

"We all have a gift and we must express it. I believe that if you do not surrender to it, you'll never be one with yourself."

Istvan has always had music in his blood and recalls that as a tiny tot, he tried to sing, not talk, first. He is a Canadian with a Hungarian Father and a French Canadian Mother.

He 'discovered' Elvis Presley when he was just 5 and by the time he was 6, he knew what his life ambition was - to be a R'n'R singer. His parents supported his dream by sending him to a Violin Teacher but that didn't last long as Istvan insisted on moving his body about whilst playing which his Teacher disapproved of.

At 10 he purchased a black and white guitar just like Elvis' On Stage '72 one. A few months lessons and he was on his way. He still has that original first guitar today. After Elvis, he was 'into' The Beatles (related to John Lennon the most), which lead to followings of The Doors, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. By 15, he was penning his first song, "Safe And Sound".

Istvan's music career started in earnest when he turned 17 and started Clubbing all around Eastern Canada (mostly Quebec and Ontario) and often played with muscians 10 years older than himself. He recalls he was their Michael Schenker from UFO and was their lead guitarist, a long haired blonde who played a fast picking and could drop down a scale at the speed of light.
Aged just 19, he penned "I Still Love You", "Going South", "Praeludium", "Love", "Yes We Can", "Sunny Days", "Clowns","Made For Love", "It's You And Me" and some 15 other songs. That same year he also wrote a full Heavy Metal Album called "Doomsday".

The following year Istvan purchased a Tascan Recorder, microphones, a Bass and Keyboard plus a few more Guitars. Fully equipped, he recorded a few songs and made a 100 Cassette copies which his Mother wrote covering letters for and mailed to Record Companies both big and small. Nothing happened.

A year of setbacks in which he experienced the loss of his Father and the news he was to become a Father himself saw Istvan realise one cannot survive on music alone so he took a position with a Direct Sales Company. His success in this role lead to him being sent to Europe to set up an Organization there, which he did, very successfully.

During his time in Europe his duties included organising many Parties, which ment hiring Bands, and most let Istvan perform with them so he managed to performed all over Europe.

Finally Homesick, he returned to Canada and set up his owm marketing business which is, today, a highly successful venture. However time waits for no man and his mid-life crisis made him realise time was marching on and his music was being ignored. That was enough to motivate him to hire a studio and musicians, re-vamp his old songs and record them.
