Emmet Cohen has clearly got what it takes. It goes without saying that he is a brilliant pianist who knows to strike a chord with his fellow musicians – legendary figures such as Ron Carter and Benny Golson, leading artists of today like Joshua Redman and Christian McBride, and even the bright hopes of tomorrow, such as Samara Joy and Mejdi Owens – and how to connect with his audience, whether in a jazz club, a concert hall, or online.

At every stage in his career, Nikolas Takács has consistently delivered an exciting combination of unique musical inspiration and independent artistic exploration. Born into a musical family in Galanta (now Slovakia) in 1986, he won his first talent contest at the age of ten. This was followed by formal music training and a long succession of solo concerts. His style, which fearlessly blends jazz, soul and pop, firmly positions him as one of the most multifaceted performers in Hungarian popular music today.
