Euro-African Playground at Opus Jazz Club

Born in 1987 in Hungary, Márton Juhasz started playing percussion at age eleven. At age 14 he started taking drumset lessons from Hungarian session drummer Zsolt Janky and later from György Jeszenszky. After graduating from high school he enrolled in a one year performance diploma course at Drumtech in London. There he got a chance to fully immerse himself in music and study with teachers like Bosco Di Oliveira, Darryn Farrugia, Erik Stams and Francis Seriau. At the end of the year he was awarded prize for top overall student and had a chance to perform at the graduation ceremony, held in the prestigious Shepherds Bush Empire in London.
