Bio
Adam was born in Munich in 1976 to Hungarian immigrants. His relatives also
include an opera singer and another music producer. Adam attended the organ
school and learned about chords and harmonies from an early age. When
Adam, alias „Ant on Wax” was 14 years old he started producing
electronic music on his brother´s Amiga 500. He composed the hits for the
children´s birthday parties in the youthcenter where he grew up.
Adam soon began working on his own computer. More music was produced with
the first software he bought, ordered from Finland for $35. In 1995 a young
businessman was interested in the music that Adam was producing. The
businessman supplied everything that was needed for the music studio, in
which trance and techno music was to be produced. For the next two years
Adam would spend all his time between the studio and school.
The studio was located in a friend´s basement. It was full of electronic
instruments and had cavern style walls. From this came some releases, on
the label „Frankfurt Beat Records”. At that time the first
collaboration with a live-musician started. It was a guitar-player, who
influenced the „Kinder Cellar” sound with his own inspiration. This
gave the mainly electronic sound some living elements.
Since the studio had not been of enough use to the investor, the main
components were sold after two years, save for what „Ant on Wax” was
able to buy with his savings.
Together with the guitar player and a common friend „Studio24” was
founded. Music was produced here for the following few years. More and more
sessions with singers and musicians were the base for the music
productions. In 2004 a cover version of an american children´s song was
produced with some talented singers. First BMG and then Sony Music showed
interest for the project, but unfortunately it was not released since the
singers were not well known to the public.
In that same year Adam got to know the singer „Lavinia Jones”, who was
searching for a new challange after her world hits of 1995/96. They
composed an album together, with some musicians, across the internet which
consisted of triphop music. The album provided the soundtrack for the movie
„Das Musikill”. The album did not sell very well. A second CD was
produced, but was never released. After that Adam decided to go back to his
Hungarian roots and moved to Budapest. He has been living here since
october 2006.
In exsistance now is the „Budabeat Studio”. Here a lot of new
recordings are being made with vocalists, musicians, and whole bands. The
style of music is always chosen by the artists that are working with Ant on
Wax. He just influences the music with his personal touch, much like a cook
would spice up a soup. Currently about ten projects are ongoing in the
„Budabeat Studio” and new creative artists are constantly arising in
Adam’s life.
In 2007 an audio jingle for a news show was created here. A song for
Lufthansa’s newsletter was released with the aid of a german agency.
Currently there are three projects that are especially interesting: The
collaboration with the 10 member band „Orkestra Bohemika”, which
consists of modern gipsy pop music. Furthermore there is work being done on
an electronic-oriental music cocktail with the singer „Jeena”, who has
a strong asian influence. Guitar player, „Noar”, who studied music and
singing in London, is also collaborating with Adam on some excellent
projects.
