Imre Czomba

At an early point in his career, Imre was inspired by the blues, which can be clearly heard in his piano playing. He has been a member of several top blues bands and has performed on the same stages with B. B. King, Sting, Zucchero, Pink and Robben Ford. Imre has appeared on over 110 albums and as a composer, arranger, orchestrator, music producer, and musician. He has been the recipient of 18 Gold, 14 Platinum and 4 Double Platinum albums. In the pop music world, his most notable success was with the band Nox, who went on to win a number of local awards, including the Golden Giraffe.

Czomba collaborated with artists from sixteen countries on the project, bringing together composers, musicians, and singers from the United States, Germany, Australia, Canada, Egypt, Norway, Slovakia, France, New Zealand, China, Russia, Israel, Argentina, and Hungary. Participants included established performers such as Kenny G, Michael Boddicker, Alphonso Johnson (Weather Report, Santana), Ed Calle (Gloria Estefan, Michael Bolton), Richie Garcia (Phil Collins Band), Sara Andon, Andrew Kesler (Accent), and Michael O’Neill (Barbra Streisand Band). The project originated as a small-scale remote collaboration among a few colleagues but quickly expanded into a larger production involving more than 100 contributors. The resulting work was developed collectively, reflecting the contributions of multiple composers and performers.

In 2021, Imre Czomba has an opportunity to compose music for a short film for VOGUE magazine called "Why the Sun and the Moon Live in the Sky" based on a Nigerian folktale. The director is the iconic Julie Dash, and the two lead actresses are Halle Bailey and Chloe Bailey. They are the Chloe x Halle R&B musical duo.

In 2000, Imre's career took a different turn when he was asked to compose music for several successful plays such as Merlin Theatre's Deathtrap. That experience led to a meeting with choreographer Sandor Roman, with whom Imre developed the unique harmony of dance and music for ExperiDance. The dance group is committed to the heritage of Hungarian folk dance. Imre is successfully composing an outstanding music repertoire built around Hungarian folk music but also manages to step outside its boundaries. This new musical direction has turned into a romantic and grandiose part of world music. These stage shows are regularly played on the main stages of Budapest's top theaters and in bigger cities countrywide as guest performances. He has many successful musical plays, such as Birth of a Country(2007). The shows were performed with 250 dancers and 10 singers at Budapest's most famous Hero Square. Untouchables(2012) played at the Margaret Island Open-Air Stage, and The Taming of the Shrew (Makrancos Kata)(2013) played at the RaM Colosseum.

In 2006, Imre also had the opportunity to compose the official song for the 2006 European Aquatics Championships. Sports lovers all over the continent enjoyed the song, and it went platinum on the day of its CD release. This led to Imre composing the Hungarian Olympic Team's official song in 2008, the Judo European Championship's official song in 2013, and Evgeni Plushenko's Russian National Championship and Winter Olympic Music. Imre song is the official song of the Judo World Championship in 2021, it's called “Judo for you”.
