About Me
My name is Claudia Dancs and I was born 1987 feb 22 in Budapest, Hungary. I started to sing vocals and lead before I could talk, I was about 1,5 years old. My mother was a singer and a barpianist in Hungary so I was fed with all the evergreens while she was pregnant with me. We moved out to Sweden when I was 2 years old. When I was 4 my parents bought a synthetiziser that I started to play by ear on the same night they brought it home. I've lived in Tranås, Tingsryd, Öland and Malmö. My father joined a latinamerican group called "Playa" and I started to perform and tour with them at the age of 12.
The strange this is that my parents never told me what I should listen to... I kind of grew up to George Benson, Earth Wind & Fire, Mezzoforte, George Duke, Petrucciani, Metheny, Herbie, Chick, Weather Report and those cats, but the moment I started elementaryschool, my parents stoped listening to practically everything, don't know why though, so I went mainstream (or at least what all the other kids were listening to) all hiphop, rnb, alot of Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston 'cause of the wailing thing. That was my everydayjoy, I got home from school, put in the latest MC and learned all of her frases. But as I got older, I started to write my own songs by the piano and I wanted to record it on tape. So I looked for some new recordable tape in my parents room. The first tape I found was "Observations" by Mezzoforte and I fell in love! After that I found all the amazing Benson tapes, Pastorius, Chaka Khan, Bobby McFerrin, Stevie Wonder etc. and I went to the liberary every week to borrow new albums home. So ever since that hallejujamoment, I have been a fusion, jazz, soul, funk freak with no limits! After alot of regular jobs, I'm finally safe with giging only, allthough that's not my final stop. I have the honor to live with a fantastic drummer called Zoltan Csorsz Jr. and I have learned alot of things by meeting some great musicians on the way. I'm hoping to learn alot by going to collage of music in Malmö, that's going to start in 2 weeks. So if you're from the hood, holla at me in school!
