* 08.06.1982, Budapest, Hungary, Hungary
lives in: Budapest, Hungary, Hungary

Even as a teenager, Péter Závada, who was born in Budapest in 1982, achieved success with the rap and slam formation ‘Sons of the Beginning’. They initially wrote their witty and provocative texts in English, but subsequently in Hungarian. One of their song lyrics was even introduced as the subject of an oral examination for the Abitur school leaving certificate in a gymnasium in Pécs in 2012.

Since 2009, Závada has been publishing poems in the main Hungarian literary journals such as Holmiand Jelenkor, and his first collection, Ahol megszakad (Where it Tears Off), came out in 2012. In his poetry he combines combative language with the slang arrogance of the street. He approaches the Hungarian tradition of poetry in a clever and self-assured way.
