Me
Hello my friends, this is Maco..
I make music and other stuff.
I consider myself a creator, but not in the words most recent meaning. I just truly enjoy creating things from scratch, especially music.
I was born in ’94 in Budapest and I was cursed blessed with a vivid imagination. I was a quiet kid growing up, living in the fantasy world, that I created for myself. That’s my safespace. I’m my best version there.
I started learning the guitar at age 13, and it might sound cheesy, but that changed everything in me. I learned a new way to express myself and my feelings and for a quiet kid, that meant, still means everything. It’s only in the past couple years, that I gathered enough courage to put myself out there.
What I do
Hobbies & Obsessions
I got my first guitar at age 13. I remember it took months to convince my parents to buy me one, but they finally gave in. It was a Julia WG41 acoustic guitar and it costed around $40 16 years ago. We weren’t doing too good back then, so I made sure that my parent’s hard earned money didn’t go to waste. I became obsessed immediately and practiced at least 4-5 hours every day. It also helped me a lot with my english, as tutorials were barely available in Hungarian.
A year or two later I got synth that had a teaching function in it and it was preloaded with classical songs, like Fur Elise. So that became a secondary obsession, altough I never got as advanced with the keys, like with the guitar.
I was maybe 16 when I downloaded LMMS (Linux Multi Media Studio), which is a free DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and I quickly learned how to make beats with it. Then my cousin’s (ex) boyfriend recommended I should try Fl studio instead, so I did. I Jack Sparrowed a copy of FL Studio 8 and that flipped my whole game.
This is the “short” version of how I got hooked on music.
I actually started shooting videos earlier, then music. My parents had a Nokia 6600 that had a whopping 0.3 megapixel camera. I realized that you can pause the video recording and continue, so me and my friend started shooting videos and use this function to “go through doors and walls” in the school, during break.
Fast forward 6-7 years, when we got our family’s first digital camera, a Sony point and shoot or something like that. By following some basic Adobe After Effects tutorials I was able to make a video, where I cloned myself. One of me played the keys and the other played the guitar. (It had no sound though) Damn.. I really wish I still had those videos..
I’ve been uploading videos to Youtube since 2012, but it was only recently, that I started to take it more seriously. I hope you enjoy them!
I’ve been a freelancer / “entrepreneur” (I don’t like that word.) eversince I graduated High School. I’ve worked in many fields over the years.
Fun fact: I used to own an escape room, that I built all by myself. Then I wanted to start another business, so I closed it just a couple months before covid hit. Ngl that was a lucky decision.
In my day job I am currently the marketing manager in our family’s business, but that usually only requires me part-time.
- I build WordPress websites, like this one and many others.
- I create written content as a copywriter. (In Hungarian.)
- I take photos. (Mostly interior and product photography.)
- I make video content. (For the family business.)
- I design digital and printed marketing materials.
- I learn something new everyday. (Almost everyday.)
Making samples and selling them is very new for me. Please be patient, until I upload detail here.
I really want to experiment with livestreams in the near future. I’ll update this, once I finally get started.
