It's our first artist in the spotlight from Hungary! Composer, producer and visual artist, Laszlo Fogarasi, known to the music world as Yonderboi was born in September, 1980. In 1998, While still a high school student, he released his first song, it was an instrumental cover of one of the Doors' best known songs, "Riders On The Storm," titled "Pink Solidism." Some of his music was licensed to Western European Compilations which would soon lead to a record deal from a German label. He would record his debut album, "Shallow and Profound" on his own shoestring budget. How small? Well the equivalent of about $300 US Dollars. Released in 2000, That album went on to pioneer the emerging trip hop sub-genre and would score a single "Pabadam" which would go on to be a big hit on Gilles Peterson's BBC Radio show (YONDERBOI, n.d.) 

At the 2009 Berlin Film Festival, Yonderboi notably collaborated with film director, Peter Greenaway for an audio-visual show. (YONDERBOI, n.d.)
