Career

Bocskor was born on 16 August[1] 1982 in Sânmartin (Csíkszentmárton), a village in the Transylvania region of Romania.[2] Her parents owned a farm, and she would help with the crops and animals.[3] She studied at the István Nagy Arts Lyceum in Miercurea Ciuc, then entered the University of Arts in Târgu Mureș.[4][5]

Bocskor quit her university studies in 2003 and moved to the Hungarian capital city, Budapest.[3] In 2006, she was a semi-finalist in the pop contest show Megasztár. She joined Magashegyi Underground in that same year.[2][6] Bocskor also wrote lyrics for several of the band's songs.[7] She and the other band members discouraged their fans from SMS voting for them in the 2008 Hungarian Music Awards due to exorbitant messaging rates[3] of 240 HUF per message.[8]

Bocskor has written songs for Magashegyi Underground using poems by writers such as Péter Závada and Krisztina Tóth.[9]
