Born in Virginia, raised in Maryland; survivor of an alcoholic  family; graduated High School and Union Carpenters Apprenticeship; a student of Algebra, a student of Life, a  brown belt Samurai Chess Player; gave up clarinet in 2nd grade because he was too young to understand;  gave up French class 5 years later because he could not speak the language; turned down Ms. Maria Blautzig for the Sadie Hawkins Dance because she had turned  down his request earlier in the school year; walked out of typing class on day one, hell HOUR one, because he could not handle the stress of it;  walked out of Oklahoma State University because he really needed help at that point and did not know how to ask for it, so ‘tear it all down and blow it up’ seemed to be the only way to find any; experienced the deepest loneliness of his entire life to date out on that highway, with no direction anywhere.  He has worked as a ditch digger, a grass cutter, a TV Guide door to door salesman; he has been a farm worker, carpenters’ helper, apprentice, a Journeyman carpenter in Local 132, a Home Improvement contractor and a Facilities Maintenance Engineer.  He has passed up more opportunities than cars on a freight train; he has hitchhiked, hobo’ed and walked across tens of thousands of miles of America's roadways, and a few in Canada, for good measure.

By virtue of  a chance encounter one snowy January night in 1993, when he met and eventually married the revolutionary communist, aspiring novelist, multi instrumentalist soprano and as yet unheralded expert at fitting leftovers into the refrigerator, the  beguiling, and sumptuous Ms. Juliana; this union subsequently created the talented, smart, bubbly, and eye-catching Ms. Sophia, she of the musical pipes.
Mr Higgins first picked up the guitar at age 23, the harmonica at 57, and wrote his first book at age 5, or 6. It shall remain forever unpublished, as the only handwritten master of it is lost to the dustbin of history.

Dj Choky, also known as Sebes Krisztián, is a Hungarian artist breaking boundaries in genres of house, dance, and hip-hop. From a distinguished career as a DJ, spinning beats at notable venues, to crafting original compositions since 2018, Dj Choky cements his place as a versatile force. 

Biography

Sebes Krisztián, better known as Dj Choky, is a Hungarian artist with a musical journey that spans across multiple genres, showcasing his versatility in house, dance, and hip-hop. Born on November 5, 1976, in Budapest, Dj Choky's musical odyssey started in 1998 as a DJ, rocking prominent venues like La Noche, Sakáltanya (Coyote Ugly), and Rolling Rock Kecskemét.

In 2002, he achieved recognition by obtaining the DJ (lemezbemutató) certification from the Hungarian Zeneművészek és Táncművészek Szakszervezete Országos Szórakoztató Zenei Központ, solidifying his skills as a technical mixer. Transitioning from the DJ booth, Dj Choky ventured into music production in 2018, becoming the sole composer of all his tracks.

His discography, officially introduced in 2023, traces back to the inaugural release in 2019 with "Bárhol a világon" (Anywhere in the World), followed by subsequent hits like "Enemies," "Hypnotic," and "Road to Noway." Collaborating with other artists on tracks like "Euphoria" and "Falu végén kurta kocsma" showcases Dj Choky's collaborative spirit.

Currently working on four ongoing projects, Dj Choky defines his uniqueness by avoiding a specific style, allowing him to craft music aligned with his current mood. Each song serves as a testament to his eclectic taste and commitment to musical exploration.

The artist’s original single "Road to Noway" serves as an embodiment of complete balance, often accompanying Dj Choky on long drives. Similarly, his track "Euphoria" stands out as a triumph over personal fears, a collaborative effort with a distinctive blend of styles. His upcoming project, a deep house track, pays homage to a dear friend who introduced him to the world of DJing.

With a transcendental discography spanning from 2019 to the present, Dj Choky's unique approach is driven by his ever-evolving musical tastes. The artist envisions a future where his music resonates across genres, creating a unique and wide-ranging impact on the musical landscape.

Influenced by icons like Armin van Buuren, the master of electronic music, and the legendary Michael Jackson, Dj Choky values innovation and a continuous quest for renewal. His immediate plans include recording a tropical house track with a melodic female vocal, while his long-term goal is to collaborate with a diverse array of artists, expanding his musical palette.
