Music has been an integral part of Ildi's life since childhood. She was born on April 21, 1992, in Pécs, as the third child of a renowned musical family: her father was a bassoonist, and her mother, a pianist, is still a prominent figure in classical piano education today. Encouraged by her mother, she began more serious piano studies, but during her high school years, she became increasingly interested in pursuing a career as an opera singer. At the age of 17, she met Prof. Emer. Ks. Éva Marton for the first time in a masterclass, where the world-famous soprano clearly confirmed that she should continue on the path of singing. 'You have absorbed musicality with your mother’s milk,' the artist told her. After graduating from high school, Ildi was immediately accepted into the classical singing program at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music. It became clear to her then that she had found her calling. She graduated from the university with honors, receiving a degree as an opera singer, having been a student and mentee of Éva Marton throughout her studies.
