Career

Lovasi first started playing music in 1980 in the bands Déjá vu and Piros Ló, with limited success. Having already played together with Gábor Bräutigam in these bands, he was then joined by András Kispál and Rezső Ózdi to form Kispál és a Borz in 1987.[5] He released ten full-length studio albums with the band from 1991 to 2004.

Lovasi started Kiscsillag in 2005 with Gábor Bräutigam and Rezső Ózdi (both formerly of Kispál és a Borz), as well as Gábor Leskovics of Pál Utcai Fiúk.[8] The band immediately became Lovasi's priority as Kispál és a Borz were put on the back burner and eventually disbanded.[9] Kiscsillag have released five studio albums as of 2019.

Lovasi received the eMeRTon Prize for Kispál és a Borz's Sika, kasza, léc in 1994[10] and the Hungarian Music Awards for Kiscsillag's Néniket a bácsiknak! in 2012.[11] In 2010, he received the Kossuth Prize, the most prestigious cultural award in Hungary.[3]

In 2019, Lovasi was criticised by several left-wing publicists for his decision to play at Tusványos, an event closely associated with the Fidesz political party.[16]
