Barna Szőke

I have been making music for several years, playing in bands, writing and performing songs. My main instruments are guitar and bass, and I also play keyboards and piano from time to time. In truth, every instrument fascinates me, even if I cannot master them all.

I am the bass guitarist of one of Hungary’s most well-known rock bands, Ivan & The Parazol, and a two-time Fonogram Award winning artist.

My goal is melody: creating themes that stay with the listener and evoke emotions, whether in film music, commercials, or any other form. I am inspired by all kinds of music — classical, world, jazz, rock, even metal — but my philosophy is essentially genre-crossing: there are no good or bad genres.
