Zoltan was born is Miskolc, in 1971. In Erkel Ferenc School of Music he learned to play the violin. In Bartók Béla Musical Secondary School his violin teacher was Csaba Lenkey for three years, then was taught by János Fejérvéri to play the viola. In 1990 he began to study at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music, at first with Ferenc Kertész' then with Sándor Nagy's class. He has been teaching since 1997. During this time he got teaching practice on elementary, secondary and upper classes. He worked as a Waldorf teacher for two years, during which time he completed the Postgraduate Waldorf Teaching Seminar.

Besides teaching he regularly gives concerts, mainly chamber music. In his concerts, he plays pieces of classical composers and his own compositions, too.

He has been composing since 1998. He writes music mainly for Indian Lyrics. Reading Sanskrit and Bengali poems in the original he began thinking about how it could be possible to show this treasure to those people who did not know this literature and did not know these languages. Since these poems are very musical on their own, and both their rythm and intonation, he found that the easiest way to present them was to set the poems to music. In spring, 2001 his choir volume was published - containing choral works for mixed choir and a cycle of three songs. In October, 2001 came out a volume containing pieces composed for children's or women's choir.
