I am a professional composer and music producer with extensive experience in creating, producing, and licensing original music for film, television, advertising, video games, and sync-driven media. I am the founder of Black Baron Studio, a Budapest-based music production and licensing studio, where I compose, produce, and supervise music for international media projects. My work has been licensed in productions such as Emergency Room, Shameless, and Greek, as well as various global advertising campaigns and feature-film projects, reflecting a strong focus on cinematic impact, emotional clarity, and high production standards.\n\nBefore focusing on production music and cinematic scoring, I was the lead singer, songwriter, and keyboardist of the Hungarian indie rock band The Moog — the first Hungarian band signed to an American record label. The Moog toured extensively across Europe and the United States and released several critically acclaimed albums, working with internationally respected producers Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden), Ken Scott (The Beatles, David Bowie), and Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons). These collaborations shaped my compositional approach, sonic palette, and production discipline. This background informs my current work, with an emphasis on memorable melodic themes, dynamic builds, and emotionally driven arrangements—elements that translate well into epic, cinematic, and trailer-style music. My current output includes bespoke compositions, adaptive underscore, and ready-to-license tracks delivered in sync-ready formats (full mixes, stems, and alternate edits), with workflows optimized for fast turnarounds and high technical standards.
