Prečo vydávam album a prečo potrebujem vašu pomoc?
(Please, see below for the English version.)
Ahojte priatelia, volám sa Peter a možno ma poznáte z katolíckeho spoločenstva Marana Tha v Prešove, kde vediem modlitby chvál. Som autorom alebo spoluautorom viacerých piesní, ktoré vyšli na albumoch Marana Tha ako Potrebujem Teba, Kráľ Slávy, Vánok, alebo Daj sa mi napiť. Aj vďaka udalostiam, ktoré sa odohrali v mojom živote za posledné 4 roky, vo mne dozrelo viacero nových piesní, s ktorými by som sa s vami rád podelil na svojom prvom vlastnom albume.
Odkedy si pamätám, hudba bola pre mňa vždy prostriedkom, cez ktorý sa Boh vedel dotknúť môjho srdca. Moju prvú gitaru mi rodičia kúpili v 9. ročníku a nevedel som ju naladiť. Aby sa to dalo počúvať, každý druhý deň som chodil ku kamarátovi, aby mi gitaru naladil. Cez Nirvanu a Metallicu som sa na strednej prepracoval až ku kresťanskej a chválovej hudbe, ktorá ma oslovila a je súčasťou môjho života doteraz. To, že budem popritom aj spievať som si nemyslel nikdy. Raz, keď na skúšku neprišla speváčka, som to skúsil a povedali mi, že to nebolo až také zlé, tak to skúšam ďalej :) Modlím sa, aby moje piesne boli pre vás požehnaním a ak vás osloví aspoň jedna z nich, tak to celé malo zmysel.

My story
Dear friends, my name is Peter, and you might know me from the Marana Tha Catholic community in Prešov, Slovakia, where I lead praise & worship. I am the author or co-author of several songs featured on Marana Tha's albums, such as „Potrebujem Teba,“ „Kráľ Slávy,“ „Vánok,“ and „Daj sa mi napiť.“ In the past four years, significant events in my life have inspired the creation of several new songs, which I am thrilled to share with you on my very first solo album.
How It All Began
As far back as I can remember, music has always been a means through which God could touch my heart. My parents bought me my first guitar when I was in the 9th grade, but I couldn't tune it. To make it sound listenable, I had to visit a friend every other day to tune it for me. My musical journey progressed from Nirvana and Metallica in high school :) to Christian praise & worship music, which has been an integral part of my life ever since. I never thought I would also sing along with playing the guitar. However, when a vocalist missed a rehearsal once, I gave it a try, and I was told it wasn't so bad, so I decided to continue :) I pray that my songs will be a blessing to you, and if at least one of them resonates with you, it will all have been worthwhile.
How I'll Use the Funds
The goal of this campaign is to cover the expenses associated with recording the album in a professional studio. The album will feature at least 10 original songs, all inspired by my some of my favorite parts of the Bible. Over the past few weeks, I've been working hard to share a piece of the upcoming album with you right away. The exciting news is that you can already listen to one of the songs. It's called „Márnotratný Syn,“ (Prodigal Son) and you can find it at the YouTube link above.
