FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE CREATIVE TEAM OF DOBI RECORDS

I am András Dobos, Dobi. Bass player. I’ve actually been into music since I was a kid. I’ve played bass guitar or electric double bass in countless bands. I used to lived in Germany, and I even played on the same stage with Maroon 5. I have also participated in many musical formations here in Hungary, not only as a musician, but also as a composer and manager. My life has always revolved around music and the situation is the same today: I've been composing music in my own studio, whether for you or for your loved ones, for birthdays or weddings, for your love, or even for your business. Let's write, create fantastic music together!

I am Szandra Szakál-Szabó, a mother of four and a wife. I'm the founder of Orgasmic Life, I work as an Intimity Mentor. In the course of my work, I get in touch with a lot with different levels of energies and vibrations. Music, as a manifestation of energy through vibrations, is an important part of my job. I also believe that the spoken word has extraordinary power, which, when combined with the appropriate sounds, has a serious effect on the one who listens to it. At Dobi Records, my job is to provide a creative background for writing lyrics and composing music, and it ensures that the songs are properly loaded with the right energies. I work intuitively in all areas of my life, so that’s my strength in writing lyrics and finding harmonies as well. Tuning in to the customer, feeling their needs, so we can create the right atmosphere, the feeling, thus the lyrics can be born to reflect these vibes back. The expressive power of music, this creative, artistic process from the birth of the first sound to the finished product always sweeps me off my feet. Music can be very helpful to the inside of you. Of course, this also requires good lyrics to accompany it!

I am originally a drummer. In my former bands, the lyrics were written by outside people, but I didn’t feel them my own, because they didn’t convey my thoughts. Thus, approximately fifteen years ago, I got myself together and started writing lyrics from my own experiences, which I always tried to spice up with a good dose of humour. The positive feedbacks prompted me to continue the work I started, but not only in my own bands directly related to me, such as Bluesbolhák band ("My name is Horty" album), Zsebrakéta band or the Southern Thunder Band, but also in the form of lyrics for songs on requests, which were born for birthdays, name-days, house parties, weddings or for companies' claims. I hope that I can create great lyrics for many more good songs to come.

I studied music at the Etűd Jazz Vocational High School of Music and at the Kőbánya Music Studio. I completed my university studies in 2020 at the Budapest University of Economics, majoring in communication and media studies. I have been actively singing in Hungary's outstanding musical productions since I was 17: in 2013 I sang in the Pannonia Allstars Ska Orchestra, in 2014 in the Loyal, Canarro, and in 2016-2017 in the Team Gusto Cubano. During the recent years, I have sung in the following musical formations: A Dal 2017 (Singh Viki, Kovary & The RoyalRebels), Hooligans, Vásáry André, Blahalousiana, Drastik Putto, Catsby, A Dal 2018 (Odett), Nagy Feró és a Beatrice, Szabó Balázs Bandája, Lóci játszik, Pink and the Panthers, Ghymes, Dolly. 2019: Pál utcai fiúk, The Biebers, Abba Tribute Show, A Gozar Orchestra. 2020: Abel, Label, Mocsok egy kölykök, HolyChicks, Fatal, Error, Krúbi. I met Dobi in Krúbi's crew when asked me to participate in Dobi Records as a singer.

I have been playing music since I was 12 years old.á Firstly, the drum caught my attention as an instrument. I studied at the drum school of Péter Hoffer (Magdi Rúzsa, ex-Moby Dick). I also became interested in songwriting relatively early on. We started working on a record with several famous and experienced musicians, where I could I absorb all forms of songwriting, and it was great to see what methods the different people used, and how they utilised their knowledge creatively.á I kept writing my own songs and tunes and soon I found myself in a band where I actually had the opportunity to write real songs. Later, I became one of the main songwriters for the band Lifehack. Today I am a full-time songwriter, I like trying myself out in different topics, because I like experimenting. In my opinion, composing is a never-ending challenge and learning process. You always have to create something new. The tools are there, people need to bring in their creativity and the courage to create something new. Experiments are very good teachers.

The idea of making music was born I'm my mind when I got to know rock music. I got my first acoustic guitar when I was nine years old, and I started learning in a self-educated way. After mastering the basics, I also acquired an electric guitar, by which an important new world opened up before me. I started learning songs by foreign metal bands. I was impressed by the way the sounds of the different instruments relate to each other, so I got caught up in the more technical music. Later, lyrics-centric music started to attract me, so I found myself in the Hungarian hard-rock and punk-rock venue. I became interested in writing lyrics and singing. Then the other instruments followed: the strings and the piano, and while talking about genres: the soundtracks and theme songs. It’s amazing how much each scene in a given movie is influenced by the background music, and how weird and semantic it would be if it weren’t there. It is my belief that the atmosphere of a film is determined by the music. I am currently immersed in this genre and trying to explore the deepest possible layers of it. The benefit of spending time playing music for me is that music is everywhere and I want to be a part of it.

I am Dániel Kökényes, the guitarist and songwriter of the band AWS. Around the age of 10-11 was the first time I got a guitar in my hand and immediately started working on songwriting. With my humble little knowledge, I was already writing “songs,” rather tunes or moods at that time. Not long after that, I started my classical music school studies, then I learned from a private teacher, and later on I trained myself, trying to learn as much about the instrument and composing as possible. In AWS, initially we wrote the songs together, but later we switched to the method of single songwriting and then finalising the song together. This encouraged me to build my own studio and also to learn the mysteries of sound engineering and instrumentation. It was very exciting to experience that my hitherto awful demos began to sound nicely at once, and the gates of a whole new world opened up before me. Songwriting and music production is an ever-changing and evolving profession, so I try to stay up-to-date and meet the modern expectations, yet bring a unique flavor and style to my compositions. In addition to orchestral songs, I have long been interested in film score composition. I really like the way music subordinates itself to a particular scene, it doesn’t distract you from the plot, yet the two work together to achieve the right effect. I also like listening to, as well as writing a lot of music. The point is that something should start forming in me. I love new inspirations, whether in the form of an instrument, a person, or a life event. The experience of being able to create something out of nothing is incomparable to anything and I have dedicated my life to it.

I come from a family of generations of musicians. I learned to play the guitar from my father, and then I continued my musical studies at the Etűd Music School and Secondary School of Music. I have played guitar in several Hungarian music productions: in the band of Vera Tóth, Laci Gáspár, László Komár, Inflagranti. In 2012, I performed with the band IN DIRETTA in the talent program of RTL KLUB, called "Csillag Születik". For 15 years I have been a permanent member of Hungary's best-known blues band, "Jumping Matt And his Combo". My passion is writing and composing music, I have spent a significant part of my life in studios and at concerts, I play the guitar on many records of the Hungarian music life.

My name is Péter Szili, Susu. I have been involved in music and songwriting since I was a child, and later on I also picked up composing and arranging music. I have played in many Hungarian bands, and at the age of twenty I continued my career in Switzerland, where in addition to concerts and studio work, I could also get to know theatrical composition. In 2006 I wrote a piece entitled "Szabadság Rapszódia" (Freedom Rhapsody), in 2007 I won the Best Instrumentation Award at the "Dal Fesztivál" here in Hungary, which was followed by countless Hungarian concerts and theatrical works. I have been playing on cruise ships for 10 years, in addition I also have a passion for Hungarian folk music, while urban songs, tunes for films, commercials and poems are born from my work. My co-songwriters include Leslie Szabó, Géza Bereményi, Péter Müller Sziámi.

As long as I can remember, I have always been singing: okay, at first only into the shampoo bottle, but sooner or later it had to be replaced by the microphone, it happened in my teens. In Dunaújváros, my hometown, some local musicians heard me humming at house parties and asked me to join them in some bands and projects as a singer. After I moved into the capital, I have started my cooperation with musicians from Budapest as well, and following this path, a couple of years later I became a singer for bands playing on cruise ships. During those years I have been all around the world, and this has put a great impact on my life in the 2000's. My original profession as an English teacher was greatly affected by travelling the world, because during those times I have improved my English language skills to almost native level. When I got back home, I went on singing in several Hungarian projects, that's how I got to know Dobi, and later on several occasions he asked me to contribute to their concerts as a singer in some songs. As a result of our cooperation, in 2020 he requested me to be the singer of the anthem of the 16th district, which was composed by his team, and I can gladly state that working together with him was, as it has always been a pleasure!
