After the X-Factor shows he started using the stage name Dave and created his own music project.

From that moment everyone knew him and he became a star in his country. After lots of work and struggle Dave ended up with a great result: he was voted as the second greatest male singer and voice of the whole X Factor 2012 competition. In 2012 Dave joined the European X Factor as a competitor. He decided that he want to become a solo singer, a real artist who can always reveal whatРІР‚в„ўs in his mind, who can mesmerize his own audience with his own personality. When he was on stage he wanted to express his own feelings, his own personality instead of playing a role and mirroring one of his charactersРІР‚в„ў feelings.

Increasingly he felt theatre was not enough for him. In the next few years Dave played several main role in operetta and musical genres: Mercutio (2005-2016) Gerard Presgurvic РІР‚вЂњ Romeo and Juliet РІР‚вЂњ MUSICAL Baby John (2002-2003), Snowboy (2003-2006) РІР‚вЂњ Leonard Bernstein - West Side Story - MUSICAL Orlowsky, Russian Prince (2005-2016) Johann Strauss - The Bat РІР‚вЂњ OPERA/OPERETTA Count Boni (2005-2016) Imre Kalman - The Gypsy Princess - OPERETTA FrР“В©di (2005-2016) JenР•вЂ Huszka - Baroness Lili - OPERETTA Abraham (2007-2008) Gery Adler / Michael Patric Walker РІР‚вЂњ Altar Boyz - MUSICAL Prince Rudolf (2007-2009) Sylvester Levay, Michael Kunze РІР‚вЂњ Elizabeth - MUSICAL Raoul de Saint Brioche (2007-2010) Ferenc Lehar РІР‚вЂњ The Merry Widow - OPERETTA Singer (2008) Leonard Bernstein РІР‚вЂњ Mass - OPERA Peter (2009-2016) Neoton Family - Beautiful Summer Day - JUKEBOX MUSICAL Himself (2009-2016) Alan Menken/Elton John/Harold Arlen - Tales of Musicals РІР‚вЂњ MUSICAL Sandor Szapary (2009-2015) Imre Kalman РІР‚вЂњ The Bayadere - OPERETTA Jacob (2010-2012) Bertolt Brecht РІР‚вЂњ The Threepenny Opera - DRAMA Pappacoda (2011-2012) Johann Strauss - A Night In Venice РІР‚вЂњ OPERA/OPERETTA Count Gaston de Szapary (2011-2013) Imre Kalman РІР‚вЂњ The Gypsy Violinist РІР‚вЂњ OPERETTA Calicot (2011) Leo Fall РІР‚вЂњ Madamme Pompadour РІР‚вЂњ OPERA/OPERETTA Mario (2011-2012) Thomas Mann / Janos Vajda - Mario and the Magician РІР‚вЂњ OPERA Himself (2012) - George Gershwin - The Gerswhin Concert - MUSICAL Carl Bruner (2013-2014) Dave Stewart/Glen Ballard РІР‚вЂњ Ghost - MUSICAL Ibolya Ede (2013-2015) BР“В©la Zerkowitz - Kissing Lady - OPERETTA Toni Schlumberger (2014-2015) Imre Kalman РІР‚вЂњ The Circus Princess - OPERETTA Ferenc Hatfaludy (2014) Ferenc Lehar РІР‚вЂњ The Land of Smile - OPERETTA Jack Zakovsky (alternate casting for Tyrone Jackson) (2015-2016) Jose Fernandez, Steve Margoshes, Jacques Levy РІР‚вЂњ Fame - MUSICAL Count Pixi (2015-2016) Albert Szirmai - Mike, the Magnate - OPERETTA Poire (2015-2016) Victor Jacoby - Sybill - OPERETTA Dave was never completely satisfied with what he has achieved. Operetta has similarities to both operas and musicals but the boundaries between the genres are somewhat blurred. It is a internationally recognized Hungarian folk genre which is popular all around the world, but mainly in Europe. He played many operetta roles beside the musicals. He finished school with very good results, moreover, right after his graduation exam he scored his first main role at the well-known Budapest Operetta Theatre. Dave was 15 when he joined the best school of Musicals which is operated jointly with the Budapest Operetta Theatre. From the very beginning he has been working with the biggest theaters in Budapest including the Hungarian State Opera House where he was a member of the childrenРІР‚в„ўs choir. He was 6 years old when he first saw a stage and decided immediately that stage will be the most important part of his life.
