Veronika Harcsa - vocals

Subjectively

I think when I invited her to do the backing vocals for us upon Orsi Kozma's recommendation, I became really sad after the first rehearsals that she couldn't have a bigger part because we were short of time. Her voice is extremely unique, like no one else's. After the concerts most of my acquantances sitting in the audience regardless of age and gender fell in love with her. I think it is also important, even though she is not proud of that, besides her music degree she almost received a degree in information technology at the Budapest Technical University. If I am not mistaken she only missed her last term (or even less) and she says it was due to the lack of interest that she did not think she would take the final exams. It's my mission that every time we meet I bug her with it, so she might change her mind.

According to the facts

She completed her studies at the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music in 2008 at the jazz faculty. She founded her own jazz band in 2005 and they made an album called Speak Low the same year, performing jazz standards. Speak Low was released in July, 2007 in Japan under the label Nature Bliss and right at its release it went right to the top of the Tower Records and became the best selling vocal jazz album. She performs her own songs with her quartet. On the album You Don't Know It's You released in January, 2008 there are 13 songs, all of them are her own. The album was released in April, 2008 in Japan, also going to the top of the charts and the band went on a successful tour of Japan the same year. They released their album called Red Baggage in November, 2008.
