IAMYANK Dreamy, magical music for those moments when you want to focus on your inner world. Iamyank is a multi-instrumentalist producer / songwriter who keeps building up memorable scenes around the audience with futuristic synths, spacey guitar and dirty drums on the edge of instrumental and electronic music. BIOGRAPHY In 2011, after 10 years of being a drummer in different bands he wanted to extend the usual methods of songwriting and soundscapes to catch specific moods more precisely. After finishing imPro Budapest School of Music Technology, he has met the main characters of the Budapest underground music scene and started to make DJ sets while figuring out what sounds, genres, styles fit better to his own musical vision. After playing at all the main local clubs and at the biggest Hungarian festivals (Sziget, Volt, Balaton Sound), making remixes for well known Hungarian bands he started working on his first release. The first EP, titled 'Cold Summer', was released in 2013 and it got positive reviews from both the audience and critics in Hungary. His fan base started to grow anticipating following releases, so he spent more time on writing songs and released 2 more EP-s in 2014 titled 'City of Nobody' and 'Last Song'. All of them got featured on the biggest Hungarian music sites and got positive feedback as well. At this point, he has already started building up his live performance show which later gave him the chance to share stage with his biggest inspirations, such as: Mount Kimbie, Caribou, Nosaj Thing, Om Unit, Synkro etc. In the middle of the year 2014, he started a collaboration with POSSIBLE GAMES and together they worked on an adventure game for his next release. After 8 months of team work, on 2nd of March 2015, iamyank released "Lost Sounds" in an exceptional and unique way: the EP was packed with an iOS / Android adventure game titled 'Adventures of Poco Eco' which got featured on the biggest Hungarian news portal. The feedback was extremely positive: it got featured in Apple Store's 'Best New Games','Editors' Choice' and later it was in the 'Best of March' selection of the store. In the first month, hundreds of articles from all around the world were talking about the graphic and musical world of Adventures of Poco Eco. After the succesful launch party and local Spring Tour he started to plan a Western Europe Tour in July with the IAMYANK LIVE show. Besides, in the meantime he keeps teaching music production in imPro Budapest School of Music Technology, he founded Unframed Records with AMB and he is also an active member of ASAN Art Community, a fresh member of Selected Sounds crew and teamed up with the greatest local musicians to build IAMYANK LIVE BAND.
