WaTa

WaTa started his musical journey at the young age of 6, known as Tamas Varga back in those days. Born and raised in Budapest / Hungary, he got through 12 years of classical music studies until he slowly became more interested in writing music for the present rather than performing music of the past. His first attempts as a beatmaker of the Hungarian underground hip-hop community gained him attention and appreciation of the scene got him opportunities to work with the greatest at the time. The step-up from hip-hop to a wider range of genres and a more electronic style is a result of a 6 year quest in London, where he was introduced to the massive heritage of the UK’s electronic music. While completing the ‘Commercial Music’ course of the University of Westminster, WaTa's music has been released by London-based underground labels, some tracks were used in campaigns by Adidas, other songs were presented by BBC Introducing. Since returning to Budapest, he combines the influence of the UK’s unique sound and his own signature noisy, dirty, imperfectionist approach. He is constantly collaborating with artists, working on his solo stuff or remixing for acts around the world.
