Hi, I'm Károly, a jazz piano student based in Budapest, Hungary. I grew up in Hungary, near the lake Balaton. I began studying piano at age seven; I met jazz when I was around 15 years old. My oldest hobby is travelling, I especially like natural treasures. I always find the sort of ancient peace of nature relaxing.
I am a calm and open-minded person (as my art requires me to be).
