English

I was born on 12 July 1994. I have been playing the violin since I was four. I belong to a musician family. My grandfather Béla Botos known as Bumbi was a famous violinist. He played in different bands in Prague and Karlovy Vary. In Rimavská Sobota he was known as one of the violinists of the folklore group Rimava. I usually play with my father. At the age of 14 I won the Czinka Panna Competition in Sajógömör. My idol is a violinist, called Róbert Lakatos.

Currently I am a student of the Secondary Vocational School of Commerce and Services. I also visit the Music Conservatory in Banská Bystrica. My aim is to follow my grandfather’s footsteps. The violin creates a very important part of my life. I have had a chance to play in several bands. I am familiar with Hungarian and Slovak music media. I was called to join several bands like Trifonti Iván and his band, András and his band, Molnár Jr., Karol Radič and his band, Vojta Bunda and his band, Farkas Árpád and his band, Axmann Dezider trio.

Recently I presented my music on Tompa Mihály National Poetry Competition. I played Oblivion by Astor Piazzola and was awarded by Tibor Kulcsár prize.

With my young Roma and non-Roma friends (Marek Krištofík – violin, Tomáš Gašpierik – bass, Ľubomír Gašpar – cymbals, Roland Horváth – clarinet) have created a music band called Mušketieri.
