Despite his young age, VINI—aka Vincent Németh—has already made his mark on the history of Hungarian hip-hop and rap, and he has no intention of slowing down. After several years of writing music and producing, he turned a new page in 2024, continuing his career with professional management.

In 2010, a group of young musicians formed a band in Budapest, and over the years they became one of the most prominent bands in the Hungarian modern rock scene. From the very beginning, Ivan & The Parazol’s goal has been to create a production that knows no national borders, where the only compromises are those made among themselves, one that showcases how rock ’n’ roll is played today, and through which they can create their own, ever-expanding musical playground.

The Budai Pop Duo consists of Máté Balla and Iván Vitáris, the songwriting duo behind Ivan & The Parazol. The group performs the band’s songs spanning a decade and a half in the raw form in which they were created. The more intimate instrumentation and the duo format allow the band members to give listeners a glimpse behind the scenes of each song, whether it involves literary inspirations or the songwriting process itself.

Blahalouisiana started out as a club favorite and has since become a main-stage act at domestic festivals. The band, which performs in the beat-rock/soul-pop style, was the most-played band on MR2 Petőfi Radio in 2023.

The band Henri Gonzo és a Papírsárkányok began to take shape in the mind of the Cuban-Hungarian singer-songwriter toward the end of the pandemic.

Fran Palermo was formed by the multi instrumentalist singer-songwriter Henri Gonzo in late 2011 in Budapest. The band's music and style are characterized by different genres, mostly by indie, rock and roll, baroque pop and even by mediterranean vibes. The unique soundscape requires a bigger band on the stage. The speciality of the band comes not just from mixing different instruments, but from the diverse origin of the members. They have a vivid inherited cultural background such as Cuban, Spanish, Greek and Hungarian. By now Fran Palermo has become one of Budapest's main concert bands, owning numerous fans.

The band Jules War grew out of singer-songwriter Eszter Lovasi’s unique musical project. The band’s signature enchanting dream pop and introspective lyrics came together on their full-length album, The Greatest Climber on Earth, released in late 2024.

Hungarian alt-pop artist Saya Noé emerged into the Eastern European music scene region early thanks to her characteristic songs, molding a perfect fusion of Alt Pop and Electronic, performed both as a solo artist and with a live band.

BRENKA (Blanka Dárdai) is a young, diverse talent, R&B and POP singer, songwriter, who started her career at the end of 2020. She and singer-songwriter-producer DOÓR (Mátyás Doór) quickly found each other and started working together, resulting in "Vigyen a Víz" (Take The Water) and later in several songs and albums. Her first major album "Hogyan Fogadjak Szót?" (How to Take a Word?) was released in April 2022 and her 2nd album "Kavicsok Közt Kagyló" (Pebbles Among Shells) in autumn 2023.

ROSE MAY is one of the most complex characters in the Hungarian pop and hip-hop scene, building the HOT PINK CVNTERIA universe entirely on her own terms. In her music, rap and pop are not separate genres, but different elements of the same visually striking, cinematic world. She is a songwriter, producer, performer and creative director, writing a new chapter of her story with each release.

Lil 404 is one of the most exciting and freshest voices in Hungarian hiphop. He established his position on the Hungarian pop music scene in 2025 when he won • the Jägermeister Hangadó, • the Fülesbagoly Beat, • Budapest Open Mic's special award, and • was included among the top productions of Kikeltető and • among the recipients of Hangfoglaló.

Sipi is a DJ, performer, and composer from a family of musicians who has been working in the entertainment industry for nearly 15 years. His life has been most heavily influenced by R&B, soul, funk, and pop, so the stylistic elements of these genres can be found in his own songs.

Dragonflyers was launched in spring 2025 as a new project by Blueklyn, aka Kristóf Balla. The goal is to create an instrumental, improvisation-driven band whose live set can move audiences on any festival stage—conveying not only ideas, but a danceable vibe as well. The tracks are the result of a collective effort by Kristóf Balla (keys), Áron Sárosi (bass), Attila Telek (drums), and Balázs Raboczki (sax). The entire material is original, featuring a live sound, fully instrumental and improvisational, built on foundations of D’n’B, UK Garage, Techno, and Trip-Hop, enriched with samples. Spring 2025 was spent composing original songs and shaping them on stage in various Budapest clubs. The debut album, featuring six tracks, is set for release in the fall, followed by a single in winter. The release of the second album is planned for spring 2026.

Born in Győr in 1986, Márk Járai's career is almost fairy-tale like. He studied to be a dentist, but his talent for guitar and singing became increasingly apparent. The young guitarist was performing in small cafés when he was discovered by Dávid Marsalkó, and in no time at all he found himself on the country's biggest stages as a member of Halott Pénz. Alongside the band, his solo career also took off, and in 2015 he became a member of the Red Bull Pilvaker core team (on March 15, 2015, he performed Sándor Petőfi's famous poem, Füstbement terv, with a single guitar on the stage of the Erkel Theater). More importantly, Márk has a strong connection to Tamás Cseh, so he actively toured with his evenings paying tribute to the singer's memory until 2022. As he said: "I did my first Tamás Cseh evening when I was twenty, but I only played a few songs. Over time, however, more and more songs became my favorites, and it got to the point where two years ago I did another evening, where I also had my prose adaptations." Géza Bereményi made a surprise appearance at this evening, and since then they have become such close friends that they have released a joint album, Összevissza tánc a világ released in 2026.
