Yonderboi's manyfold influences vary from oldschool French Hip-Hop
and nineties Trip-Hop to soundtracks of eastern European cartoons
and cinema noir of the sixties. Yonderboi┤s music transports his
charming Eastern European identity with a special Hungarian flair.
When in civvies, this 19-year-old Hungarian talent goes under the
name of Laszlo Fogarasi Jr. He lives only 250 kilometers from
Budapest, but it takes a good four hours by bus to reach the tiny
village of Mernye where he grew up. Despite already showing great
interest in music as a child, Yonderboi was not allowed to sing in
the school choir. His music teacher called him' cloth-eared' and
only let him pretend to sing while mouthing the words, but she
encouraged his parents by noting the little boy's good sense of
rhythm. At secondary school, he took guitar lessons, but this soon
had to takesecond place to the development of his technical skills
when Yonderboi received his first cheap, mono computer sound board.
He had soon submersed himself in the clicks and bleeps of
programming technoid music. He was enchanted less by the style of
music but more by the fact that he could create it himself.
The first musical influences were discovered in his father's record
collection: Osibisa, Rhoda Scott and early disco hits. At the same
time, Yonderboi also listened to the Hungarian and Polish jazz
greats of the sixties and seventies such as Studio 11, Rudolf
Tomsits, Gyorgy Vukan, Syrius and Zbigniew Namislowski. The real
roots of his music, however, can be found in the soundtracks of
eastern European cartoons.
He satisfied his hunger for all kinds of musical information by
tuning into the short- and medium-wave radio stations and later to
satellite radio. Here, he heard the music which, in his own words,
'he lived by.' His later musical work's tone was coloured by
eighties hip hop, such as De La Soul, GangStarr, Stereo MCs and the
Beastie Boys, as well as French hip hop, especially MC Solar.
As a high-school student, Yonderboi managed to travel two or three
times ayear to the capital, with the hope of finding one or two
interesting newrecords. But, when he could not find exactly what he
wanted, he decided the'do-it-yourself' method was the best. He was
barely past his sixteenth birthday when he sent his first demo to
"Juice Records" in Budapest. And so his first release was on the
'Future Sound of Budapest'compilation which gained international
recognition. The 'Pink Solidism' single, released in Hungary was
then featured on many compilations in different countries.
After graduation from high school, Yonderboi arrived in Budapest in
the summer of 1999 with his friend, keyboarder Balazs Zsager.
Yonderboi also managed to simultaneously use the time to work with
keyboarder Balazs Zsager on the grooves and instrumentation for the
solo record 'Bombajo' -Fantastic (Crossroads Records) by the young
popular actor Ivan Kamaras. This became one of the hits of the
Christmas '99 season in Hungary.
He still manages to remain modest and relaxed about the initial
wildly-enthusiastic reactions from the test audience. He doesn't
wish to take part in the material scuffles of the electronic music
business, nor does he follow the electronic music fanaticism for
trying to stay 'one day ahead.' Rather he chooses to stay with the
simple melodic music, rooted in emotions, whose strong visual links
show a unique and characteristic eastern European identity.
