I was born in Žilina, a town in Slovakia. Since my youngest ages, I’ve been exposed to computers, which shaped my love for tech and computers.

I was also exposed to a lot of music, and my parents noticed my natural understanding for it. It didn’t take long, until I started to study Violin in the prepare year of the Elementary Art School Anima Libera. I was 4 years old at that time. Later I changed the school for The Elementary Art School L. Arváya (pedagogues: Gabriela Keblušková, DiS. art. ; Kateryna Myronova). When I was 6 years old, I was introduced to Piano, and started studying it in The Elementary Art School Anima Libera (pedagogue: Mgr. Katarína Hoštákova). I’m mooving my study into The Elementary Art School Brioso on September 2026 (pedagogue: Mgr. Peter Vaňouček). My graduation is expected to take place in June 2027. My parents got me my first guitar for my 9th birthday. I was introduced the basics by a guitarist Marián Hyllo. To this day, I’ve beed learning this instrument myself, although I’m attending my first year of study in ŽUŠ Brioso in Septembre of 2026 (pedagogue: Mgr. Vladimír Kubalák). I’m also having fun with drums playing and learning myself. I’m open for any oportunities to try new things with music and music production.
